Film Project: Silent Film/Arranged Scene

Due at the end of the marking period is a short film project. You may work alone or with a group of up to 4 people. Your task: Create and film a silent film of at least 2 minutes in length and up to 7 minutes).

Consider:

  • Arranged scene editing (The Great Train Robbery; A Trip to the Moon, etc.)
  • Melies trick photography
  • Porter's use of cross-cutting
  • D.W. Griffith's use of camera shots and transitions, tinting, etc.
  • Eisenstein's use of montage
I want to alert you of this since we will be heading for Feb. break. You can get started on an idea (and/or film) during this time...

More details on this project forthcoming.
