| Project 05: Longshot - DUE on Tuesday October 4th, 11:59pm |
| With a single, moving (hand-held? skateboard? hand-made dolly? bicycle? tripod?) DV camera shot, tell a one-minute story. No cuts in the video. You are welcome to add sound to your video - sound that you can edit, sound that might change the meaning of your video. Your final movie should be 1 minute long. Upload it to your Youtube or Vimeo site and send Deke the link. CONSIDER THIS: Perhaps you will need to THINK about how you will choreograph your movement as camera-person? Focus? Close-up? Wide shot? Handheld? Tripod? Point of view? Pay close attention to composition - lighting - color...there's a lot to consider...please do so. Perhaps you will need to arrange and organize and direct the objects/animals/children/deities/spawn-of-satan/F-16's/fast-food-workers in such a way that your story will be told? What exactly are the elements of a story anyway? Perhaps your story will best be told with sound that is NOT recorded at the same time as your long, single video shot? Oh, hey, look at this: Dogme 95...and click on "Manifesto" and "Vow of Chastity" |

| Pithy Quote |
| “Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hands of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origins of things. We are all part of creation, all Kings, all Poets, all musicians, we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.” Henry Miller |
