Lesson 1 : Subject & References

SUBJECT 1

Make a video essay of duration 1minute30sec/2minutes30sec with Adobe Premiere Pro.
(Please, check the settings recommandation on the first post)
Use 10-12 pictures of your own. Try to find a relationship between them : narration, thema, characters, place, context, time, atsmosphere,...
Your video could be an essay, a video poem, a documentary, a thought, or a story.
Place a title at the beginning or the end of your video. (make it simple : no move, no effects, no weird typography)
Try to use "effects" (effect control, effects, animation, photoshop layers) and sounds (voices, poems, FX sounds) to create more than a slide-show, but a video/motion images.
You can use some music samples (if you're not playing, then credit them at the end), but not over all your video : this is not a videoclip.
ZOOM in/out are not allowed. Take your picture at its largest. Do a cropped version of it. Then insert one then the other one after. This is a focus.
DON'T create two movements over the same rush (left to right, then to up, etc).


Here are some examples that you could get inspiration from :



Chris Marker "La jetée" 1962

Jean Eustache "les photos d'Alix" 1980

 
 Exhibition Alix Cléo Roubaud, BNF Paris.
