Continuity and Movement Through Space
MEDP/FILMP 160 Final Project
Fall 2019
In this project you will create a scene with a clear beginning, middle and end, using one actor. You will develop your scene in the form of a storyboard that will have no more than 8-10 panels. Remember, each panel equals one shot only. The actor will move through their environment. You’ll include a point-of-view shot or sequence using continuity editing. Some techniques you can use include match cut editing, the 30 degree rule, etc.
There will be no synch dialogue. You may add music, voice over or sound effects in Premiere. You can also record ambient audio to build a background sound track.
You will work with a partner, each person will submit his/her own idea. You will storyboard, shoot and edit your own video. Your partner will act in your scene. Both you and your partner will shoot both your videos on the Hunter campus, during one lab period. Each person should limit his/her shoot to one main location. The editing will be completed in two lab sessions, and uploaded to vimeo or youtube. The story line is up to your own imagination as long as you create (or creatively break) continuity rules.
Before shooting, you will workshop your storyboard with your lab instructor.
If you wish to shoot in the library, you’ll need clearance beforehand.
Each person in the group of two people will edit and hand in their own separate project.

THE STORYBOARD
THE STORYBOARD
A storyboard is a pre-visualization tool that will help you develop your thinking about the key
dramatic moments you want to film. You do not need to be a graphic artists. Your goal is to
develop a sequence of drawings that helps you think through what you want in your shots that you
can share with others, in this case your instructor, your classmates, and your actor.
Pages 114 to 117 in our book will give you a good overview of how storyboards work. Below is a frame from the storyboard of Hitchcock's Birds.
