AVTF 3 EOPA Review

Hey guys, we are getting closer to the end of the semester which means your End Of Pathway test is right around the corner. Please make sure you are looking over this to familiarize yourself with some of the things we may not have covered in your tenure here.

Short Film Unit

Alright, here we are at the end of the road. We will be working in our groups to create short films that will demonstrate everything we have learned up to this point in AVTF 1. This assignment will cover pre-production (script - storyboard - scouting - and all things creative) production (all of our shot types - continuity - matching action) post production (editing - audio control - sound design)

Please review this website for some pointers on how to make a short film:

Tier 1: Movie Scene
You will create a short movie style scene from an existing script. Modifications to script might be necessary and a completed storyboard is required before production.
