Videographic PechaKucha and Supercut, due by class on Monday March 8

Supercut:

ASSIGNMENT: Choose one element present in your film/episode, and create a video compilation gathering all of the moments of that element. Assemble these moments together using straight cuts of linked sound/image tracks. All sounds and images should come from your film.

Please name your exported file “LASTNAME Supercut.mp4” and upload it to the proper subfolder in the Google Drive.

Examples:

“Eva” from Ex Machina by Abbie Rosenbaum

“Follow the Money” from No Country For Old Men by Jack Ralph (note that the parameters were different, so Jack used non-linked audio)

PechaKucha:

ASSIGNMENT: Create a video of exactly 60 seconds consisting of precisely 10 video clips from a single film, each lasting precisely 6 seconds, assembled with straight cuts. Audio should be one continuous sequence from the same film with no edits. Include a 3 second black slug at the beginning and end of the assignment.

Please name your exported file “LASTNAME PechaKucha.mp4” and upload it to the proper subfolder in the Google Drive.
