Plan

In your short film you will use three "Master Shots" filming techniques in your short film. Past CA students spent a lot of time creating tutorials for future students to be able to understand Hollywood-style types of shooting. You will use three Master Clips' filming techniques from one or more of the following categories that you think would work well for your storyline. mastershots.mouseflip.com **

• Fighting Scene
• Chasing Scene
• Suspense, Shock, Fear
• Revelation & Discovery
• Argument, Conflict
• Dialog Scene

List the Master Shots that you are planning on using for your film and type them according to the format below and write step by step directions on how you will film it with your group (indicate the specific filming locations and mention your actor names to be specific and make sure you explain and meet the Master Shot requirements in your directions; have at least four directions for each Master Shot).

Chasing Scene

Travel with the Subject & Long Lens Pan

(Master Shots that are combined on the spreadsheet count as one)

1. First Joe will start running outside the gym towards the playground
2. I will ask Sally to film and cut to a medium shot of him rounding the corner (important to use a head-on shot in this situation for the Master Shot)
3. Film a close-up shot of his reaction when he sees Dr. Bad Bunny
4. Pan the camera from right to left as he runs past me
5. Finally, the Master Shot requires an extra pause at the end of the chase for effect
6. Good student example of option A with clear and thorough directions but make sure to have at least four directions for each:

I will ch

eck these again in class and you must have it finished before your group continues filming next class.

When you are finished, email the post to Posterous and the link to the spreadsheet. Also, copy the text you wrote and paste it into your group doc you already created and put it right before the start of your script.

The group leader should complete the following and when finished, print the doc that includes the location info:

On the group superhero film doc, list all the locations that you will film at the very end of the doc on a new page. Order them by the locations that have the most scenes first. Then write the Acts that each of the locations include. Finally, write the dates that you plan to film (Day 1 (4/23), Day 2 (4/25), Day 3 ( 4/27), Day 4 (5/2), Day 5 (5/4) etc...these dates are for CA1 & CA2.
