We looked at three types of film in class:
- silent film
- musical
- mockumentary
You are responsible for scripting, and filming, and editing a movie using one of these three types of movies. Your subject matter / plot can be on anything you’d choose, so long as it is appropriate as a final assignment for the Toronto District School Board.
The final film must be between five and fifteen minutes in length. There is no penalty for “only having a five minute film.” So long as the movie lasts between five and fifteen minutes they will be evaluated equally.
It may be beneficial to have a sorter film, as often times the longer a movie goes, the less cohesive it becomes.
