Today we recieved our brief for the 'Introduction To Screen Media Practice' module titled;

'MAKING MYTH FOR TODAY'

We have to produce 2 short videos (2 Minutes) based around 2 different myths. We also have various limitations to the 2 videos.

1. The first video must contain only static camera shots, no camera movements whatsoever including handheld shots.

2. The second video must contain a maximum of 2 characters (people or otherwise) who are only allowed on line of spoken dialogue each.

These limitations also enable me to make the most of other elements such as visual storytelling, voiceover and other creative narrative elements. As Part of the Module requirements we also must produce a research and development file detailing our processes and analysis of the module and final videos. I will use this blog as well as a written diary of the project for this requirement.

We will also have to produce;
A written treatment for the project
All required planning paperwork
-scripts
-storyboards
-schedules
-prop lists
-cast and crew requirements
-call sheets
-
A written commentary analysing the final videos.

The first step for me is to research ideas from myths and ideas relating to myths and develop my final 2 ideas to begin pre production.
