RUBRIC FOR PROJECT #3

160 Assignment 3 - Rubric for Continuity Project Pre-production: Student submitted storyboards and shot list prior to shoot day.

Music and sound effects that help and not overpower the piece? Did the student use non-copyrighted music? Correct audio levels with correct transitions. No camera sound! Video transitions. Titles.

Blog #3 - Relationships Between Shots

Blog #3 - Relationships Between Shots For this assignment, you will pick a film scene (any genre) and break it down shot by shot.   Please don’t give the plot summary. This blog is about editing choices.  Describe how each shot relates to the next one by identifying editing strategies. Are the cuts continuity editing or montage editing? Example: Matched action? 180 rule?Jump cuts? Graphic matches? Eyeline matches? You can identify point-of-view shots? How are the shots organized in terms of their content, composition, color, movement? Find a short piece of media (1 minute or less) you can watch several times on YouTube or Vimeo.  If you can, please create a link in your blog to the media, or embed the clip (analyzing a piece of media allows you to reproduce it under the Fair Use aspects of Copyright Law). 250 Words Due in Lab #10
