B-ROLL & CINEMATICS
Back in the day, editors used to use cast-off pieces of film to splice into the middle of scenes in order to either give it more depth or to help aid pacing. These pieces proved themselves to be useful.
Eventually, directors were shooting some extra things to cut in there if they needed it. When it comes to shooting video—whether for a documentary, news, feature film, or television purposes—it is always prudent to shoot extra footage, which you can use in a number of ways. Incorporating B-roll video footage can take your video from amateur to professional with just a few extra scenes and transitions. Our project will be taking the art of shooting B-Roll and creating a short film. |
OUR CREATIVE PROCESS - All steps need to be documented and completed as part of your full assessment.
- IDENTITY QUEST- In this step you are writing out some subject ideas that you want to entertain as potential projects.
- INSPIRATION- Watch the videos in Google Classroom. There are HOW TO vids and EXAMPLES. Start collecting your own inspirations. Take notes as you do your research. Pay attention to the vibe and emotion the music in the videos, how does it connect with the visual images?
- PLAN & SKETCH- Write an outline/script and storyboard (some quick sketches) to organize how the content will play out.
- BUILD AND CREATE- Go out and start following your blueprint and shoot the footage. Edit on the computer and reshoot as needed. The music/soundtrack you use for your B-Roll film you will make in Garageband.
- DELIVERY & PRESENTATION- Upload and show your final completed film.
