River’s Joke Video called Banana Banana Orange
_____________________
The assignment for next week is to make a video with a J-Cut and an L-cut as described in the example below:
Beargrass Media J Cuts and L Cuts
_________________________
The assignment for 4/19/2021 is to do an action sequence that is 20 seconds long that has no shot last over 2 seconds. That means at least 10 shots of you doing something physical either by yourself or with another person. Examples might include a fight sequence, throwing a ball back and forth with yourself, or anything else that requires a continuation of motion. It often works best to alternate camera angles between shot types: Mid shot, then close-up, then full shot, etc.
Below are 3 examples.
___
The first example is from Pirates of the Carribbean. If you watch from the 1:30 mark to the 1:47 mark, you will see about 10 different shots. Over the shoulder, over the blade, footwork, full shots, etc.

___
The second Example is from a Beargrass Video Camp 2 years ago. The fight sequence features camera angle changes, freeze frames with zooms, comic book style lettering, sound effects, etc. The fight starts at about the 1:00 mark.
___
The third example is from a Beargrass Camp last summer where one student initiated a creative fight sequence against himself. The fight sequence starts at the 1:25 mark.

The students will learn how to write, record, edit, and publish video productions. The camp will be conducted in an on-line format with a mixture of group video calls, one on one video tutorial calls, student “video assignments”, files transferred back and forth between students and instructors, and quality finished videos produced. (We will return to in-person video camps when it is safe to do so according to health guidelines.) The students will use phones, tablets and computers owned by families with some potential for loaned video equipment like video cameras, microphones, a teleprompter, green screen, etc. The students will take stories from start to finish through the following steps: idea, storyboard, script, recording, file management, editing, special effects, sound design, rendered video, and publication on the web.
Students who have participated in one of our video camps or clubs before will be put in a group appropriate to their experience and ability.
Since 2020, we have adapted our in-person video production clubs to remote learning. In the camps, we have taken this past year’s on-line video experience and enhanced it to include more focus on including as many tech elements as possible. Feel free to call 502.671.9701 with questions.
