Objective & Purpose: I will view Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi in order to refresh my "Film School" skills. I will take notes of things I can use in my own comercial.
[10 min] WarmUp:
- Get the CST Prep from the teacher and quietly complete the four questions - then...
- Swap your Prep for a Film Guide - then...
- Read the entire agenda BELOW - then...
- Read your film guide - then...
- Turn your chair so that you can comfortably see the screen.
[90 min] Agenda:
- [80 minutes] Today we will be watching Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi, the film we saw parts of in The Ten Minute Film School.
- Things to remember:
- It was made for $7,000
- It was shot with ONE camera
- MOST of the actors were AMATEUR
- It was shot silent and all sound added in afterwards
- There are a number of "mistakes"
- YOUR TASK
- Watch the movie with a critical eye, learn from its EXAMPLE.
- TAKE NOTES on the FILM GUIDE about the kind of shots Rodriguez is filming, see how they are close/mid/far, see how he chooses to frame things... is it interesting? Why? Could YOU do it too?
- MAKE PLANS to use these ideas in YOUR COMERCIAL!
- If there is time do a typingweb.com lesson
