Project Prompt:
In this project, we will be creating a video that uses our lived experience as a jumping-off point. The experience of social distance as a college student is the antithesis of what you signed on for.
Imagen this as a social distance residency. How will you take this experience, and translate it into art? Does it take the form of documentary, poetry, or apocalyptic humor?
2-4 minute film the storyline is up to you! There must be a clear progression through the piece: beginning, middle, and end. Phone sized videos are sufficient.

1. On your blog make a storyboard outlining your plan including:
Beginning: Problem
Middle: What happens here?
End: Resolution
We will be incorporating 3 styles into your final piece, include in your storyboard where you might want to use each style:
Stop Motion Animation (using multiple still frames together to create a video)
Direct footage (you shot and edited by cutting out the unnecessary)
Appropriated Video (taken from movies, youtube etc...usually poor quality)
Make a storyboard for your video project. This can be done in your sketchbook, but I recommend photoshop or illustrator ... It is important that you take the time to make a clear, thought-out storyboard so you can receive helpful feedback.
Storyboard Basics: A storyboard is a sketch for a film. It is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions/details/dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film. HOW TO MAKE A STORYBOARD
