DEFINING THE POSSIBILITIES: A 12 Frame Obstruction

DEFINING THE POSSIBILITIES: A 12 Frame Obstruction 
ASSIGNMENT ONE (100 POINTS) Due May 21st.


There are three steps you must follow when developing you concept for you piece:

1. Define the possibilities of an object or a moment in time.
2. Define them further. 
3. Repeat these steps until further possibilities are exhausted. 

This should process should work it's way out in one of 3 ways: a script, shot list, storyboard. These texts and or sketches with text need to accompany your post for Monday May 21st. When I am asking you to define the possibilities I am asking you to define the possibilities of a moment in time cinematically via your cinematography (<Can you exhaust the amount of angles one subject or moment in time can be shot/viewed?) and construction of your narrative (Let your imagination lead you to vastness of infinite possibilities.) You can see that in the "A Relative Tonality" as an example of expanding the narrative. Pick a very simple event like opening a door, or running down the street, or eating a meal.

The second part of this is that I am placing a 12 Frame Obstruction upon your edit of your piece. That means you will see at least 2 shots per second. I will demo this in class. You can see an example below with Obstruction #1, an excerpt from the Five Obstructions. VIDEO needs to be 1MIN. Long anything after that is up to you MAX limit 3min.
