Following on from our first unit, storytelling, we have started our second unit, directions. In this unit we have been given the task to create two different films.
Film 1:
Director Self Portrait
I have to create a portraiture film of myself. I will have to appear in the video, but I don't have to be in the whole thing. This film should share what I admire, how I see the world and how the world sees me. I need to be the director for this film so I will need to arrange a camera operator, a sound person and any other cast and crew I will need in production. Sound design should play a big part in this film, so there should be no dialogue and no music.
Film 2:
The Drama
I will have to choose a television drama series, select a scene or a few scenes and translate that into a 5-6 page script while also recreating the scenes from my own point of view. There should be both opening and closing credits within this film, and music should be royalty free or from the series itself. hen selecting the scenes I need to choose scenes that have very little dialogue or no dialogue at all. The scenes should enable me to explore interesting locations, production and sound design, and I should be able to challenge myself within this film.
I'm looking forward to experimenting with each film within this unit. For the first film I am looking forward to being creative and thinking outside of the box, and for the second film I am looking forward to putting my own twist on a well-known TV drama series.
