Film Project (late) & Dogme '95

Please turn in all work today as we close our course. Film projects should be exported to your network file, then copied as a mv4 to my jump drive so that I can prepare these for screening next class (and for our party).

Today, please turn in your homework on Dogme '95. Here's an interesting film site: Green Cine

A few dogme '95 influenced films:

The Celebration (1998)
The Idiots and part 1 of the Idiots
The King is Alive
The Blair Witch Project (trailer)
Cloverfield (trailer)

A few films that limit or use rules that restrict:
Rope (Alfred Hitchcock) This film is made of long continuous shots.
Lifeboat (there is only one setting for the entire film--can you guess which one it is?)
Russian Ark One continuous shot is used for the ENTIRE film.

If you are planning to enter your films (and you should) to the Teen Film Festival, please fill out the appropriate form in the front of the class and hand this to me by the end of the class period.

Go here. Watch some films.

HOMEWORK: None.
