Today’s Plan:

  • Rule of Thirds review
  • Basic Sequence
  • Homework

Rule of Thirds Review

I’ve put together a quick slide show with shots from the second work list project. Let’s talk about those.

Schroeppel Basic Composition Exercise

I asked you to read Schroeppel’s third chapter on a basic sequence for today’s class. Let’s look quickly at his “Shooting a Basic Sequence” on page 52.

  • Wide Shot
  • Medium Shot
  • Cutaway
  • Close Up
  • Cutaway
  • Wide Shot

Today I’d like you to head outside in groups of 3. Take turns quickly shooting a basic sequence.

When you are done, everyone should make a copy of this slideshow and insert your images. Share a link to the show in Canvas.

Homework

Write out the steps for your How To video and submit those to Canvas before Wednesday’s class. We will look at some sample How To videos, talk blocking, and sketch storyboards on Wednesday.
