In our first session of Digital Filmmaking, everyone introduced himself. We had to tell our names, where we come from and which movie inspired us in the last year. This gave us a good opportunity, to get to know each other.
Basically, the first session gave us a good overview, what this course is about. We read the Handbook together and discus about every single point and why we have to or aren`t allowed to do something.
Assignment 1
In Assignment 1, we will write a Pitch Bible and present it in front of our classmates. With this Pitch Bible, we show our Concept for Assignment 2.
Assignment 2
In Assignment 2, we get the opportunity to shoot a music video for another SIT Student. This music video must respect the artist’s work and fit in his or her music genre. Moreover, we should do an introduction Video, which is run in total 30 seconds and have to contain a dialog.
Assignment 3
Assignment 3 is the reason, I write this Blog, so I can repeat the content from my sessions and can show every week updates about my music video.
After we finished the Handbook, Patrick shows us a few examples, from older projects. And a few were really impressive. Sometimes the look was gorgeous and sometimes the story was pretty heartbreaking or funny. Of course, some videos were better than others, but in the end, you could get the point.
At least I can say I am very exited about this course and hope it ends like it started.
