Portfolio Requirements:
- 2 thematic analysis essays
- 1 film review
- 2 completed short films (You may submit any short films you participated in creating this year)
- 1 poster for one of the submitted short films (It can be the poster your group created)
- 1 music video
- 1 film production resume
- Each of the aforementioned components are worth 7 points [70 total]
- In lieu of any of the aforementioned requirements, you may opt to show a film (or clips from several films) and teach a lesson on the film or concept. If you plan on doing this, you must submit your idea by this Friday, May 22nd.
Video Essay Requirements:
- If the essay has been, for thousands of years, a means for writers to figure something out on the page, the video essay is that, too, on the screen. These works can be short and song-like--or they can take their time, turning gradually inward. Regardless of runtime, the video essay requires a story. What are you trying to say? What is it you want to say/share/feel about something in particular? That story may take the form of a narrative, a sequence of events, or it may be a mediation in which "the story" is really the tension generated--by an author working through some mental knot.
- The image does not exist merely to illustrate the text; the text does not merely illustrate the image. Instead, there is a degree of distance between what is said and what is shown and what is heard, and within that distance, the audience is allowed its own ample share of imaginative space.
- Examples: "Notes on Liberty"; "F is for Fake (1973) - How to Structure a Video Essay"
- You may complete your video essay in groups of 3-4; you may also choose to work alone.
- The completed video essay is worth 30 points.
This is a digital assignment. You need to share all of the aforementioned components via Google Drive to Mr. Clark, Mr. Hearn, and Mr. Lockwood by Wednesday, June 3rd.
