2. Reverse Engineering Iconic Scene Production

3. Awesome; I…Shot That! Each project may be the work of an individual or of a group of students. Group size must not exceed four. Students will choose from a list of iconic film scenes and recreate it shot for shot. Each shot should be exact with respect to duration, angle, distance, and sound. Students should creatively develop methods for compensating for budget and special effects limitations.

4. Pre-Production A student may undertake more than one role in a production, and some roles may be carried out by more than one student. However, for the purposes of assessment each student must identify their principal role on the coversheet provided and this is the role on which they will be assessed. Two students from the same group cannot choose to be assessed in the same principal role. The roles to be undertaken for assessment purposes must be one of the following: director writer cinematographer sound designer, recorder or mixer editor

5. Pre-Production Production will begin ___________________, so delegate roles so that your group can use the production time efficiently. We are limited in time (50mins) and location (school), so think of creative ways to overcome those obstacles. As a group you will need to plan what you need to do in order to recreate the chosen scene. Consider storyboarding each shot noting its duration, angle, distance, and sound

6. Available Resources Five – Sony Digital Camera Two– Canon HD Camcorder Two - Zoom H1 Two – Rode Shotgun Mic Four – Boom poles Five - Tripods

7. Pre-Production Proposals will be submitted by _______________. Proposals must be approved before production can begin. If proposals are rejected they must revised with respect to the issues raised and resubmitted. Review the scene options thinking about which one you would like to recreate as well as the number of people you would need to pull of this task. Think about actors, camera/audio operators, etc. Construct a proposal explaining what you need to recreate the scene and submit it for approval.

8. Production If an issue arises or an adjustment needs to be made you must amend your proposal and resubmit it. Approval of amendments is not guaranteed and you may have to make due with your original proposal. Per your proposal, your group will receive its requested equipment at the beginning of class. The equipment must be returned (unharmed) ten minutes before the end of class. You must adhere to your proposal with respect to shooting locations.

9. Awesome; I…Shot That! Each project may be the work of an individual or of a group of students. Group size must not exceed four. Remember: Each shot should be exact with respect to duration, angle, distance, and sound. Students should creatively develop methods for compensating for budget and special effects limitations.

10. Production: Documentation Each film project must be accompanied by: an individual written commentary between 500- 1,000 words ; the written commentary should be based on the student ’ s personal production journal written commentary Typed 12 pt font Times New Roman Double spaced

11. Production: Written Commentary Where appropriate, you must incorporate sample production materials (e.g., frames from storyboards, schedules, floor plans) into your commentary. However, such materials should not stand apart from the commentary or form an appendix. The portfolio as a whole must reflect a clear understanding of how meaning is constructed through the appropriate use of film language. The individual written commentary should be the student ’ s own unaided work. It should give a concise, reflective account of all stages of the production process, and should also include an evaluation of the completed project as a whole. Any special circumstances surrounding the production process should be mentioned, and any outside help received (e.g., technical support) must be acknowledged.

12. Post-Production Export & Submit – When exporting your project the file must: an MP4 file titled – Last Name_First Initial_Period#_2016 submitted via flash drive As a group you will need to plan and prepare postproduction. Each group will have two days in the lab to edit and export their scene. Remember each shot should be exact with respect to duration, angle, distance, and sound. Your final product must be exported and submitted by the end of class ___________________________.
