OUTLINE FOR TOMORROWS SHOOT (HIGH PRIORITY):


Dear Production Team of TEL-T 283, 

OUTLINE FOR TOMORROWS SHOOT (HIGH PRIORITY):

Tomorrow is all about conversation, compositions, capturing audio, and a little improve. Each of you will get to shoot a 4 min. improved conversation between two male actors. The conversation topic is up to you. I want you to have this topic before coming into class tomorrow. I also want you to look at the typical two-shots section in last weeks reading again for compositional ideas. When it's your turn you will be in charge of the main two-shot composition and the topic of conversation. During each shoot there will also be several other responsibilities that will be rotated out on each 4 min shoot. These include the main camera ("master shot")/director, left over the shoulder camera, right over the shoulder camera, a B-roll Camera (which will get close ups of hands gestures, eyes, feet, extra...), and the boom operator. To sync the various cameras and there audio we will use a clapper. We must be quick tomorrow to accomplish this in the time we have so be prepared and ready with ideas. If some of you have time before class starts I would appreciate some location scouting with emphasizes on the sound in that location for these conversations to take place. We could possible be outside if its nice out, but look around for other possibilities. 

You will not be needing to bring your camera's tomorrow for class, however I need THREE people to check out a tripod EACH from the Library (POST on this blog post if you can do that). I will have all the cameras/equipment we will need tomorrow. 

On Thursday I will be introducing Adobe Premiere Pro and we will be working on editing the improved conversations and syncing the audio from the various cameras.
