CONTINUITY (MOVING THROUGH THE CINEMATIC SPACE)

INTRODUCTION from The Five C's of Cinematography
"A professional sound motion picture should present a continuous, smooth, logical flow of visual images, supplemented by sound, depicting the filmed event in a coherent manner."

In Class Assignment
Group up in pairs of two or for more of a challenge 3, its up to you. I then want you to develop quickly a narrative structure that has one or two characters (depending on your groups size) moving from one place to another. These pieces should be comprised of at least 15 shots of the character moving through space (walking or running), and 1 shot at the end of them arriving/reacting to where they are. It could be as simple as arriving at a door step or looking over out at the landscape. These need to be any where from 30sec to a minute long. Make sure you keep the axis line in mind when shooting. After shooting is complete, every team member should take the footage, and make their own edits. The project is DUE Oct. 23RD. You will have this class and the next to develop your ideas, shoot, and edit. 

READING Assignment: I want to start the 2nd Chapter CONTINUITY: Read 67-75 up to Master Scene Technique and 93-103 up to Map Direction. No quiz will be given for this given reading, but the principles learned within the reading should inform the assignment above.
