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:

After you have completed that please see me for your assignment. It will be based on your skill level from the following tiers. Once you are assigned a project from one of the following tiers, please look over the rubric and expectations before beginning pre-production.


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.
