One Word Film

     The task for this project was to create a one minute film centered around a single word, which in my case was "threatening". We weren't allowed to use any dialogue and have the plot take place over 1 minute. 

      My approach for this project was to express what my characters were feeling through their body language and shot composition. During the brainstorming process i toyed with multiple ideas before landing on the final pitch, a man being brought in by a mafia boss after he took money from them. I created a rough draft of the storyboard and typed detailed shot descriptions. Through this i was able to save time in the shooting process, spending less time experimenting with shots having already done so on paper. I used premiere pro to edit this project.

Camera Shots Quiz Overview 

For this assignment we were instructed to create a short story using only objects, and camera positioning to express the plot, with zero dialogue. For this assignment my partner and I created a story where a pencil and an eraser are in a fight and the pencil kills the eraser. I first created a storyboard to express my ideas save time in the shooting process, having done most of the experimenting on paper, I then took 15 still frames, expressing a story through the composition. I believe we did a pretty good job, if i were to change anything i would have shot somewhere with a less busy background like the classroom. The slenderness of the pencil made it difficult to see at times.
