ASSIGNMENT: STILLMOVIE  
 

 

 
 OBJECTIVES:     
  To create a movie using still images.  
 PROCEDURES:     
 

Check out some of these links to different examples on YouTube.

Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3, Sample 4

I'll also show you some others in class. After you do some research decide what type of movie you will be making:

1.Object moves through the scene - person or thing moves within the frame.

2. Point of view - you walk or drive and the camera records what you see. I'll show you an example in class.

Plan and shoot. Some of these were made using a tripod and some weren't. I assume you don't have a tripod. Just try to keep the camera as still as you can. All of sample 3 was shoot without a tripod.

I'll show you how to turn the still images into a movie in class.

The project needs to be about 30 seconds long. You need to include and provide your own music.

 
 TURN IN:    
  One finished 30 second stop motion video.  
 EVALUATION:    
 

Your assignment will be graded using these criteria:

From Mr. P's Photo Rubric

Vision:
Is you image original, innovative and daring, or just another example of the same old thing? Does it fulfill the requirements for the assignment (see assignment requirements above) ?

Aesthetics:
Have you used the appropriate elements and principles of design that would enhance your photograph or did you just shoot what was in front of the camera? Have you used good composition or did you just place the center of interest in the center because it was easy?

Mechanics:
Camera Techniques: Is the image sharp/in focus? Is the exposure correct? Was the appropriate aperture/shutter speed used (if applicable for your camera), did you find the best angle?

Computer Techniques: Is the image sharp/in focus? Is it resized correctly? Is it color corrected and sharpened?

Presentation: Is the artwork presented in a professional manner as outlined in the assignment?

Good luck
