Step 3- Once you have established a company name for your production team, design a logo that will represent your company. The logo should be in one colour and in a stylized font with added graphics or symbols. Your logo MUST contain the name of your media company followed by productions. Do not make your logo too busy, it should be simple yet eye catching.

Step 4- You are now ready to transfer your logo onto a pin. This pin will be your ticket out (hall pass) when you are taping. When you come back, put your pin back in its place.

Step 5- Once you have finished creating your pin you need to make a sign with your production name on it. Print it in black and white from the computer and mount it on construction paper and hand it in to Mrs.Pye.

- The chase is a common element in action and suspense movies. The purpose is to grab the attention of the view, both psychologically and emotionally.
- The following chase consists of various shots, angles and techniques that must be assembled into one minute video. There is no spoken dialogue. Find appropriate music and create the sound track for the piece.
- Use a tripod for all shots except those specified. Diagram each shot on a story board. Decide on your shooting schedule. Write out a plan and attach it to your story board. Make sure you indicate who is doing what jobs. Remember that you will be able to edit the shots into the correct sequence and add the music tracks.
- In the movie, a jogger is out for a leisure jog. He/she is followed by an unseen stalker. Tension mounts as the jogger becomes aware that he/she is being watched. He/she stops jogging and looks around. We can sense the fear as he/she begins to run again. Finally, our jogger finds him/herself in a safe place…or so he/she thinks!
- The last shot is up to you. Does the jogger meet his/her doom at the hands of a crazed killer… is he/she confronted by an overzealous girl guide selling cookies… is he/she presented with a giant cheque by the sweepstakes prize patrol?? It’s up to you!

SILENT FILM
Silent FilmVideo Project
Summary In the early days of film, before movies had sound and color, people would sit in the darkness of the movie show and watch flickering black-and-white stories about a little tramp with a funny hat and moustache. Charlie Chaplin is probably the first name that comes to mind when someone says the words "silent movies."
Of course, there were plenty of other films made in the years between 1910 and 1930. Many a hero foiled many a villain; many a cop chased many a robber. You might want to try your hand at shooting an old-fashioned silent movie, too.
Pre-Production
- Watch a few old movies, if you can. You'll notice that the actors and actresses use very dramatic facial expressions. They speak with the eyes, not their lips. They also use grand, dramatic gestures that help to get their point across.
- Props and costumes are important. Find them before you begin taping.
- Find background music.
- Write a Script
- Develop a Storyboard
- Decide upon or prepare a location. Plan for lighting and sound.
- Shoot the video
- Capture the video
- Assemble the video clips.
- Create your text for storyline.
- Apply black and white filter. Add flickering-grainy look.
- Create a movie for your BLOG
- Finished length: 2 - 4 minutes
- The viewer understands what is being presented
- Pacing is quick. No extra material.
- Transitions placed on clips where needed

Music Video Assignment
Music video assignment is a fun project. It is extremely important that you begin now and work to keep ahead of the deadlines.
- Step One: select a song that has a great beat and a lot of people know the words to. It is important that you begin seeing shots in your mind as you listen to the music. This will help you tell a story or pick shots to help the music video along.
- Step Two: You will need an MP3 player (iPod) and load the song on to it. Play the music back over a speaker so you can hear the music.
- Step Three: Edit the cool video you shot to the song. Pretty cool. The final video is dues december 10-13. Please note, these deadlines are different that posted on your sheet. Or at least one class handout.
