We will go through a brief overview of Camera Angles and Shots in class. You will use this knowledge to create a storybook like you would see on Reading Rainbow or Arthur. If you need an example, watch this example of a Book on YouTube.
You will be using all original pictures for this project. Remember that you are trying to use a variety of camera angles in order to make your story interesting. You will also have to use interesting Ken Burn effects on your pictures in order to tell your story.
You will need to use the random Impromptu Generatorto get a person, place, and activity to be done. Pick one of the 3 options the generator creates for you and write a 2 minutes story. Use the storyboards to draw out what your pictures will look like and how they line up with the story.
The focus of this project is to utilize the various camera angles and shots that we discussed in class. You should primarily use original pictures in your project, but if you wish to draw the pictures you can (just be sure to mimic camera shots and angles). The following aspects should be demonstrated in your iMovie:
PROCESS:
You must introduce your story topic at the beginning of the movie either verbally or in written form.
The movie must show AT LEAST 5 different original pictures.
The movie must demonstrate AT LEAST 5 different camera shots.
The movie must demonstrate ALL the basic camera angles (straight, high, low, canted/dutch).
You must use AT LEAST 3 sound effects in your story.
You will need to narrate the story as a voice over.
The project needs to be AT LEAST 2 minutes in length and no longer than 6 minutes.
