Reflections on Rough Draft

Post the rough draft of your values video. Write a reflection that includes answers to these questions:
1) What value are you trying to represent?
2) What do you think your group has done well?
3) What do you still need to complete?
4) What are you most in need of feedback about? (We want to know if..., We're wondering if this camera angle worked when...etc.)
5) Identify a challenge your group discovered and faced in creating the film. Focus on a challenge about how to best tell your story. Describe how you dealt with that challenge, including discussions you had, things you tried and decided to leave out, and what you ultimately did to address it.

Using Music Effectively

Here's a short video from Film Riot about effective use of music. Note how the use of different music changed the meaning of scenes entirely.

Rule of Thirds Evaluations

Save 6 screen captures of different groups' over-the-shoulder shots. Use the powerpoint in the shared drive and place the grid over each to see how well the rule of thirds was followed.

Evaluate by saying what the group did well or needed to do differently in these areas:

1) rule of thirds:  The person on the left should be (bigger/smaller?) on the screen and should be placed more_______________________. This way, we will be able to _________________________.
2). relative sizes of the actors on screen: The person on the left appears __________________. The person on the right appears_____________________. This gives me the impression that ______________________ is dominant/in control/weak/less powerful/has the upper hand/is intimidated/.
3. What I realize from looking at this shot is that it is important to ________________________________________________________________________________.

Reflection Questions for Over the Shoulder Assignment

Describe how your group planned your shots. What realizations did you make about the kind of planning that needs to happen BEFORE you shoot?

Look at the composition of your over the shoulder shots. Did you follow the rule of thirds? Why or why not?

What IMPRESSIONS do the over the shoulder shots create about the characters? How does this work?

How realistic does the dialogue seem in the final edit? What challenges did you have in editing?

Is there a dominant mood or tone to your video? What is that mood or tone? How did you accomplish this?

What other observations do you have about using over the shoulder shots?

What other ideas got emphasized or reinforced about how to make effective videos from doing this exercise?
