Assignment: In the Round

In the Round: assignment

Break down the "Calling the Bluff" scene from "Ocean's Eleven"

• Create a blocking diagram of the scene using the Film Studio as your setting

• Create a storyboard of the scene

• Shoot the scene

• Edit it together

• Document your process along the way for your Google Slide Film Journal

Write 150 words to 250 words reflecting on your chosen final frame and your filmmakers intentions.

(150-250 words) This should be a short paragraph outlining what you did, how you created the frame, things you learned, difficulties you had.

Talk about your filmmakers intentions: personal goals that you are passionate about fulfilling. You do not need to fulfill your filmmakers intentions but should reflect on the process of learning.

These intentions could be as simple as developing a new skill or attempting a specific technique in their production work (such as creating a silhouette as a cinematographer or using a mask to create the effect of binoculars as editor).

Or they may be more abstract, attempting to create work that echoes a recognizable film style or the creation of a particular mood through their filmmaking work (such as the photographic feel of Grapes of Wrath [1940] or the use of photographic stills seen in Run Lola Run [1998]).

You are bound to come across successes and challenges as you attempt to fulfill your filmmaker intentions. It is important that you see the value of failure as part of the process of learning and reflect on it. (For context, this is 186 words)

The write-up must have - coherent thoughts and use of film language. Thoroughly explain how you achieved your goal.
