"A WHOLE WORLD IN A TABLE TOP"
Your brief is to create a title sequence using only a table top and props with a small part of live action at the end of it , using a given soundtrack. In previous years, I have given the soundtrack of Emily Barker's Nostalgia (the Wallander theme tune), Banana Pancakes and Christina and the Queens Five Dollars.
To Kill a Mockingbird (Robert Mulligan, 1962)
The President (Heidi Berg, Felix Soletic, 2019)
Session 1: You set the tabletop with background cloth, arrange the chosen objects to tell a story that fits with your soundtrack, and with a steady hand, glide the camera above the table top from the start point to the end point.
Take photos as you go of your group at work, so that you can illustrate your blog.
Upload your footage to iMovie. Edit as required, with the soundtrack.
Next, add in titles / credits.
Make a blog post entitled PRODUCTION PRACTICE: MONTAGE / TABLE TOP SEQUENCE
Session 2: Live action shoot
This completes the opening sequence and launches the narrative. Keep it simple.
Suggest what will happen next by creating the enigma, the conflict...
Upload your footage to iMovie. Edit in the film title.
