This final assignment asks you to think about techniques of representation - whether you are representing humans, spaces, objects, and information - in conjunction with forming a persuasive and rhetorical argument that articulates a position or point of view. We will approach this process through viewing and critiquing examples of representational and argumentative videos, discussion, engaging in research on your position/p.o.v., composing and drafting a substantial project outline, and creating a video piece of 5-8 minutes.
Components of Project:
1) Video Sketch: Election Night Project
[see earlier post for more information]
2) Outline: Synopsis, Schedule, and Action Sequences
"An outline is a sketch of your film, written to expose its proposed structure and necessary elements. In most cases, the outline is a working document for you and your team. It includes a synopsis of the overall film story, and then an outline of action sequences that contain detailed information on elements such as archival footage or specialized photography and interviews."
3) Conference with Instructor - email your outline the day before your conference.
Held during the week of November 10-14, instead of class, you will meet with me for twenty minutes during the week to discuss your second outline draft and your production schedule. Bring project outline draft and production schedule to your conference appointment time.
4) Video Rough Draft
Viewed during Nov 18 and 20th class times, this is a 2-3 minute roughly edited draft of some portion of your video project.
5) Final Video
Project viewings scheduled for December 2, 4, and 9th.
6) Final Video Justification
Treatment. Details TBA.
December 13: Final day for justification and all of your work to be completed and presented thoughtfully together on your class sites.
