Film Recreation Exercise

A group exercise for our last week. Your assignment is to recreate a few memorable shots from one of our films. You have the option of creating a series of 6 shots – or filming a short sequence. The best assignments will show attention to details of mis-en-scene and cinematography (and, if shooting video, editing and sound).

I’ll form groups and assign films. We’ll start this in class in week 14 – and your group will finish on its own and bring final result to class on Monday

Steps

  • Meet and choose images or scene that are most revealing
  • Storyboard your shots
  • Scout locations / mis-en-scène / cast characters / plan for shooting
  • Shoot on your phone
  • Save your image or video files – but don’t include name of movie in the name
  • One member of your group should share files with me in a folder over OneDrive – by 1pm on Monday of our last week
  • We’ll watch in our last class on Monday to see if  others can guess your film – and what they have to say about your images/scene
