ALL/ ESO4: Lights, camera... action!

It's time to get creative! You have 3 options for the end-of-term project and all of them involve filming, preparation and originality. Let's get hands on!

*These will be heavy files to be shared via email so you can use webpages like WeTransfer to share your creations. https://wetransfer.com/
**Remember not to use copyrighted material. You can use free music and FX from repositories like creative commons.




Options:

A) Shoot a short film

You will have total freedom to make your short film. Length and subject are up to you. Decide on a genre and consider their conventions: you can use black and white for a crime story, romantic music for a love story and funny effects for a comedy. Think of the different types of shots and don't forget to add titles at the begginning and credits at the end, as well as transitions, fade in/out or zooms in nyour production and postproduction. See the steps for the ad below (preproduction, production, postproduction) and be creative!

B) Make a TV ad. Homework: watch TV! Analyse several adverts on TV or the Internet and conside the following aspects: What is their target audience? How do they convey their message? How persuasive are they? What adjectives are they using? What sounds/music/infographics/slogans are there present?

Lenght: 20 to 35 seconds (+ editing). Idea:

You have to introduce a Spanish product into an English-speaking market.

Then, develop your idea!

Preproduction
-your target audience (children, teenagers, old people, ...)
-the hype (create expectation!)
-a slogan (use puns, rhymes, etc.)
-the  story told (scriptwriting) and the tone (comic, serious...)
- duration and scenes (a storyboard would be a good idea to plan your shoots).

Production
- Who is acting? (cast) Who is directing? (director) How? (photography).
-Think of issues like the lights, the use of a chroma key (green screen), etc.
- Make up, dressing (notice many actors are dressed in the colours of the brand)
- Props (attrezzo (using the colours of the brand too).
- Where are you filming?

Postproduction
-Add a jingle (use musicand effects free of copyright)
-Add titles, images, logos...
-Render and upload it

C) Video diary of your trip

Many of you are travelling to Germany and Poland, so I propose you to make a video diary for a travel vlog. Length: 1 to 3 minutes. You can be more than one (balance your interventions).

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCKafw8_Ry8

It is similar to your eco-campaign: you want to persuade with your message!
