Classical/Neoclassical painting and create a similar composition that matches the painting’s dramatic use of light and shade. For large paintings with numerous lighting examples and subjects, you can extract certain portions to recreate if they have enough dramatic lighting detail.

Subject Painting: Morning Sun by Edward Hopper

Editing & Sound Sync done by myself on: Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects.

Objective:
Based on a preexisting edited sequence from a movie or TV show, produce a
45-second(minimum) video sequence that creates a new genre/story that is noticeably
different from the original.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR [SPORTS/COMEDY[
ORIGINAL SUMMARY OF MOVIE:
A freak accident causes 12-year-old Little League player Henry (Thomas Ian Nicholas) to
become such a powerful and accurate pitcher that the Chicago Cubs sign the junior high
student to a contract. Unprepared for such a high-pressure environment, Henry falters until
aging fastballer Chet Steadman (Gary Busey) takes him under his wing and teaches him how
to play in the big leagues. Meanwhile, his mother's venal boyfriend (Bruce Altman) tries to
sell Henry's contract to a hated opposing team.

ALTERED VERSION:
Serial murderers are after a small suburban kid, entering his life as a friendly person.

Pixilation filmmaking technique where live actors and objects are shot frame-by-frame to simulate movement. This results in an animated-looking movie, where a human, and the things around them, move without being touched. The actor can often appear jerky or smooth, depending on gaps of motion between each frame. Similar to stop-motion, both are shot frame-by-frame.

Process Deck for:

Choose 1 Classical/Neoclassical painting and create a similar composition that matches the painting’s dramatic use of light and shade. For large paintings with numerous lighting examples and subjects, you can extract certain portions to recreate if they have enough dramatic lighting detail.

Produce 3 still images that showcase 3 different lighting variations. The stills should match the proportions of the original painting. RGB, 16-bit, 300ppi.

Based on one of the 3 lighting setups, create one 10-second video that compliments the theme, story, and mood in the composition.

Document your process. Include the stages of development.

Getting started:

Research and choose your painting. If you cannot decide between a few options, present them in class or on the discussion boards. (be prepared to show in class)

On top of your painting reference, draw/indicate your painting’s light source(s), direction(s), and other notable characteristics. (be prepared to show in class)

Next, create a lighting diagram for your scene. (be prepared to show in class)

Begin setting up your scene.

Details:

Your 10 second video should be shot horizontally, so consider your scene and framing when setting up your shoot.

The video does not need to have a lot of movement. Focus on simple light motion, shadow play, atmosphere, wind or gentle breeze, etc. to help add another dimension to your story/scene.

Your final video should have a strong, identifiable connection to the lighting and composition represented in your chosen painting. Take time to plan, execute, and shoot (& reshoot) your scene.

Audience: Even though this is an exercise, consider and choose an audience for your piece and be prepared to discuss during your WIP presentations.

Tools:

Camera(s)

Lights, reflectors, flags,

After Effects, Photoshop, light diagram tools

Based on a preexisting edited sequence from a movie or TV show, produce a 45-second(minimum) video sequence that creates a new genre/story that is noticeably different fromthe original. Examples of this technique are provided in the Reference section below.

● Your editorial sequence should contain flawless spatial continuity through the use of 3 mainediting devices, master shot sequence, shot-reverse-shot, and match cuts.

● The video segment should demonstrate excellent continuity and pacing, showing clearevidence it was dictated by a predetermined script, also a graded component of thisassignment.

● In addition to the shot/reverse shot and the match cut techniques mentioned above, and thebasic/hard cut, use at least 5 additional editorial techniques listed below.CutawayCross CutSmash CutMatch CutJump CutJ & L CutDissolveMontageFade Up/Fade OutCross FadeInvisible Cut

● Your editing decisions should match the new narrative you are creating and complement yourcharacter's emotions and reactions. In other words, you can’t just rearrange the original shotsand use any editing techniques. They must work to heighten and express your narrative

Choose a movie trailer or a narrative section of a movie or TV show that you would like toreproduce in a different genre. If you have another source in mind, please contact the professorfor approval before moving forward.

● Come up with options for your new narrative.

● Create a shot list/script for your story. Pick 10-15 frames (master shots) and add a simpledescription or dialogue line that denotes the new narrative direction and order. See examplebelow. When deciding your frames, consider what you would show a client to help sell your idea.

● Research and choose audio and SFX that can help enhance and influence your ideas.

● Next, start cutting!Details:

● TRT :45 minimum

● Use Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, or other editing software that uses EDLs

● Do not use After Effects as your main editing tool

● You can use AE for certain editorial techniques or effects, but the shots will need to berendered and cut into your master edt.Deliverables:

● One 45-second (minimum) video sequence with audio

● Frame rate, same as source

● H.264 QuickTime

● One professional-looking PDF file stating your goal(s), your shot list, and a link to your finaledit. Feel free to add additional pages of research or process for your own documentation
