FILM 3: Handmade Portrait
Videos should be about 1-minute (it can be longer if need be but no more than 3 minutes)
Documents required: Storyboards, Risk assessments & Budget sheet
You must use either a flip camera or a PD170 - no SD cards or phone footage unless you know for sure that it will work with Final Cut Pro. We will be editing in class next week, so you must have footage.
You must also use a TRIPOD! No shaky flip-cam footage please!
The video
Do you know someone who makes something beautiful? Perhaps a family member is really into taxidermy, or your friend is a painter, or maybe the guy down the street has a knack for carving blocks of wood into lifelike portraits of polar bears. Whatever the case may be, actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to our personalities, the things we do and make tell an awful lot about who we are
The challenge is to seek out a talented friend and create a video portrait of them that revolves around a special skill or talent that they have. It could be anything: cooking, singing, sewing, writing, boxing, swimming...the possibilities are endless!
Showcase their skill and their philosophy behind it. When did they start? What inspired them to do so?
For inspiration take a look at the vimeo video album:

Here is an example from a level 3 learner, abut his friend who is a skateboarder.
