One Word Film Project Steps
Brainstorming:
- Work with a partner to brainstorm ways to convey your assigned word.
- Develop a story that can be told in 60-90 seconds.
- Consider using images, sounds, text, symbols, etc.
Brainstorming Sheet:
- Complete the “One Word Film” Brainstorming sheet.
- Develop a shot list and consider possible editing techniques.
- Submit the sheet to the Canvas assignment titled “One Word Film Brainstorming.”
Storyboard:
- Create a storyboard with 15 slides.
- Illustrate the sequencing/editing of your shots.
Gather Footage:
- Collect all necessary video footage (created by group members).
- Ensure all portions of the project (except audio) are original.
Editing:
- Each group member must edit the footage.
- Use only instrumental audio or sound effects (no dialogue or music with lyrics).
- The film should be 60 - 90 seconds long.
- Use Adobe Premiere for editing.
Our word for this Project was Anxious, during the Brainstorming Process, it was a bit difficult as this was the first time I had to create a story without audio and could only show movement and editing techniques. We had to make a story, and we ended up choosing a story where: A Student was going to school and was Anxious to go take a test. Throughout this, they were seen stressing out, drinking a lot of water, and splashing water on their head to relax and not get a headache.
The Storyboard allowed/helped us to choose what locations we wanted to use to create this video as well as choosing what should would be taken at that location. This allowed us to narrow down the places where we had to take the shots for the video, as we only had 2 class periods to record, and then 1 class period to edit the video and make it look perfect. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the video as this software was recommended a lot by people in the class including the teacher, Plus it was said to be an easier software to use.
For the Next Project, I think I would like to improve the Editing Techniques used, as not too many different techniques were used. This would help improve the quality of the video. I also believe that as time passes and I learn new abilities to record/edit videos, the quality of the videos will also improve.
