Advanced Camera Work: First Person Narrative - Advanced Digital Video Production PBL Project

Students create a narrative story from first person point-of-view, focusing on camera work to define perspective and experience. Students make a 2 - 5 minute video based on common story prompts that tells a story from a specific vantage point. The finished video will include demonstration of advanced camera work, including consideration of composition, perspectives, various shots and angles, and point-of-view. They should keep in mind their peer population as the target audience. Activities include: -Observation & analysis of first-person narrative short videos -Review/building on knowledge of camera work -Scripting of original narrative based on prompts -Shooting rough cut for review and discussion; refinement of storyboard -Shooting and editing final video -Reflection and analysis of process, skills learned, and challenges met.
