Learning Target(s):
- I can understand the requirements for the featurette and plan my time THIS WEEK to ensure a sucessful end to the year.
The Featurette Guiding Principles:
- LENGTH
- 3-5-7 minutes
- 3 or less is short but if well used...
- 5 is what you should be "shooting" for [lol]
- 7 or more is long but if well used...
- SUBJECT & GENRE
- Almost anything is possible if it is school appropriate
- Check your ideas with John early and often (510-684-3862)
- You MAY make your own version of an existing film or show with advanced permission in writing
- You may NOT make anything that is like a "reality" show
- You may NOT make any "day in the life", "room tour". "haul", "challenge", "expectations vs. reality" or other FAD videos.
- You may NOT make any GAMEPLAY or "Twitch" style videos.
- If the genre only exists online think twice - it probably will NOT be approved
- When in doubt ask John & get any controversial films approved in advance and in writing
- Brainstorm ideas - Exemplars are linked in this list (use headphones if watching in class)
- Base your film on something you have read
- Make (or make fun of) something that is like your favorite movie or TV show (pay attention to the NO section ABOVE)
- Find a beautiful location and design your film around it
- Consider making something abstract (yet still engaging)
- Choose your genre and work from there - here are some ideas .
- Romance (love found, love lost)
- Action (chase, crime)
- Comedy (funny journey - miniature road trip, funny situation)
- Spy
- Drama
- Mystery
- Documentary
- Promotional (team, church, school, store)
- Horror, or Horror with environmental sound effects
- Superhero
- Consider combining genres - make a funny action film!
- 'REQUIREMENTS' for your engaging film
- A general audience should find the film enjoyable to watch
- Somebody who does not know you should be able to enjoy it
- The fact that you and your friends enjoy it does not mean it is good
- It should be thoughtfully planned
- You should not be complaining about WHY things are not happening right
- You should be PLANNING to make sure that everything is happening right
- Your storyboard and your calm, productive demeanor in class will demonstrate this
- It should be skillfully filmed to keep the viewer's interest
- Angles, framing, lighting, sound and other techniques are thoughtfully utilized.
- Gross errors are refilmed or otherwise resolved
- You do NOT need dialog in your film but, if you do have it, it must be correctly recorded so that we can hear it.
- It should be skillfully edited
- ALL appropriate editing techniques are properly utilized
- Problems from filming are appropriately addressed in editing OR REFILMED
- Tasks you could/should be doing
- Reflect on your Mini-Doc feedback when you receive it
- What do you need to do differently for the next film?
- Review the Featurette requirments
- Finish your storyboard - you no longer need a panel for each 6 seconds but you do need one for every 'move' the action takes
- Plan your next workday, make sure you have enough materials/ideas to plan/ edit the entire period
- Edit footage in timeline
- Add/Edit/Refine video & stills
- Add/Edit/Refine motion to stills
- Add/Edit/Refine titles and sub-titles
- remove all placeholder text
- Add/Edit/Refine graphics & fancy titles from Keynote

- Add/Edit/Refine music that furthers your storyline
- Back-up Everything you have to your Google Drive
- The entire iMovie file - ask John
