Project 1- Portrait of a place

We were give our first production brief today:

SILENT MOVING IMAGE PROJECT – PORTRAIT OF PLACE

BRIEF

For this project you will be working in pairs.

The theme for your first project is the production of a ‘PORTRAIT OF PLACE'.

Your project will be shot during one day on an external study visit in Week 13.

Think about the various areas you might explore, and methods you might consider to achieve an interesting portrayal of a place. You can also think about individuals and characters within a place, their personality, world-view, inner thoughts and activities.

APPROACH

Design and shoot a 3-minute SILENT MOVING IMAGE portrait of place

Your portrait could be:

* an exploration of a physical place

* an exploration of a person/people within a place

* a fictional place or characters you have developed,

* a self-portrait within a place

You can use any style or approach to express the idea:

            *  Documentary

            *  Drama / Narrative

            *  Experimental / Poetic

Think carefully about the structure and content of your work. Keep your ideas focused and think about how much information you can realistically impart within the timeframe.
