• Video Assignment
• Step #1: Each student is to write a script
based on two sentences. (i.e. Johnny
woke up late. He made it to his exam
just in time.) and storyboard with three
sequences.

•
Video Assignment
– Sequence One has a static camera one shot with up to 10
pieces of action within the shot.
– Sequence Two 5-10 to ten shots. Each shot contains one of
the actions in Sequence One.
• Create a series of cutaways to splice into Sequence One in Premiere
• In Sequence Two compose at least wide shot (WS), medium shot (MS),
close up (CU), and extreme close up (ECU). The camera moves
include pan and tilt. Do not zoom.
– Sequence Three has one mobile camera shot that follows
one action continuously.
• You can dolly forward or backward. Do not zoom.

Video Assignment
– Sequence One has a static camera one

• Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope (1948)
• The film is Hitchcock’s most experimental, abandoning many
standard film techniques to allow for the long unbroken scenes.
Each shot ran continuously for up to ten minutes without
interruption. It was shot on a single set, aside from the opening
establishing shot street scene. Camera moves were planned in
advance and there was almost no editing.
• Hitchcock filmed each scene in segments lasting up to ten
minutes (the length of a reel of film at the time), each segment
continuously panning from character to character in real time.
