Foley Rubric
Film Project 6 - Foley Short Film
Instructions:
-This project will focus on creating foley (sound for film).
-You will create a short film that has a minimum of three scenes with a minimum of three different uses of foley added to your film.
-After the credits, you will include a 'Behind the Scenes' or 'The Making of' to show how you made the sound effects.
Step 1 - Pre-production:
-Write a script for your short film that includes at least three different scenes.
-These short scenes must have something happen in it that you can create foley (sound effects) for it.
-We will cover how to create a script in Video Production 30S, so it does not need to follow the proper format but you are encouraged to do so if you would like.
At the top of your script you need to identify the:
-cast
-crew
-locations where filming takes place
-costume
-props
-the items you will need to create your foley (sound effects).
Step 2 - Production:
Film the first scene. Remember it is recommended to have 3-5 different takes with multiple angles so you have more to work with in post production.
Repeat this at least two more times so that you have at least three scenes for you final foley film.
Step 3 - Production:
Complete the foley sound effects while watching your filmed clips so you can match up the sounds as best you can. You will need to film how you created those sounds so you can use them in your 'Behind the scenes' or 'Making of' reveal in your film.
Step 4 - Post Production:
1. Add the foley you created.
2. Add the title for your short film.
3. After the scenes (with foley), add a title (Behind the Scenes or Making of).
4. Include a side by side of the scenes and clips of you making the foley for that particular scene (watch the video tutorial related to this).

Film Project 5 - Timelapse
This is will be working in groups of 2-3 in the Production phase of filming 2 min. each day in the exact same location outside. The goal is to film the tracking of the progress of the fall and then use that footage for individual Post Production to create a timelapse.
Reminder to rename your files each time so it is easy to identify the order of the clips. For example, name the first file TL Day 1, then TL Day 2, etc.

Guidelines for filming this semester:
-THIS IS YOUR ONE WARNING TO FOLLOW ALL EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENT BEHAVIOUR WHILE OUT FILMING.
-Set a timer on your phone to return to class with 10-15 remaining in class. -No running within the school. -Never walk backwards. -No mock fighting (unless pre-approved and choreographed). -No weapons used. -No students (friends) can be pulled from other classes to be used in filming. -No filming in the front hallway by the office. -Noise kept to a minimum while classes taking place. -If a teacher asks you to move, you must move to another location to film. |
Lyric Music Video Rubric
Film Project 4 - Lyric Video
In this project, you will watch the example videos on this page and decide what song you would like to make a lyric video for. You will film clips that are abstract and include camera movements but cannot include people. Individuals in the distance is okay but not acting in the film.
Download the audio of the song you would like to include in your film using ClipGrab and identify each in the credits.
Important points:
1. The song must be appropriate for an audience comprised of ages 10-100 years old.
2. The maximum length of the film should be 3 min. You may need to seamlessly edit your song or fade it out if longer.
3. Copy the entire song lyrics to an online document and print and hand in prior to starting your film.
4. Use the online document to copy/paste the lyrics to avoid spelling and grammar errors. If you choose to type it out yourself, that is acceptable but be careful of errors.
5. Font styles, sizes and colours can enhance your lyrics.
6. Use rulers and guides to make sure your lyrics are appearing in several of the same areas on screen (see the video tutorial).
6. You will be applying several camera movements while filming your video clips.
7. Include a title and credits.
8. Make something you are proud of and have fun!

4: Create a folder with your name on it, in the appropriate desktop folder (for example, if you are in slot 2 - open the slot 2 desktop folder and create a folder with your name on it.) This is the location for all the coursework folders you will have for each film project.
5: There will be some groupwork for filming in this course but everything handed in is an individual film project.
6: Arrive to class on time.

Creating a Film
Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, sound and/or images, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and instilling moral values.
It's best to think of it as three distinct stages: planning and getting ready to film (pre-production) filming (production), and. completing the film and getting it ready to show (post-production).
Pre-Production - Production - Post Production
Pre-Production:
The pre-production phase of a project is where all the planning takes place before the camera rolls. Whether its Scripting & Storyboarding – this planning phase sets the overall vision of the project. Pre-production also includes working out the shoot location and casting. You’re in pre-production mode the moment you start writing down a few points to cover in a video even if it is a short piece made for a blog. As your projects become more ambitious you can start to storyboard the project. Storyboards can really smooth out the post-production process when it’s time for editing. This will really be useful if there are multiple people working on the project.
Production:
Production begins once the footage is recorded. This process will capture all the scenes and information captured in the pre-production process. During the production process you apply various the lighting requirements, framing and work on composition. Some projects will also shoot B-Roll during the production process. B-Roll is supplementary footage that can be included in the finished product.
Post-Production:
The post production process begins after all the footage has been captured. This is actually one of my favourite parts of the video making process. Graphics can be added along with images, music, colour correction and special effects. If you are producing your own video content there will be a bit of a learning curve at first, but it will be really rewarding. Post-production is like putting the last coat of paint on in a room and it will be well worth the time to learn the basics. This is where your video project will really come to life.
