Script-to-Image translation exercises

PART 1.

Due in 1 week (3/10)

Homework - take one of your favorite movies in your DVD collection, identify your most favorite scene and then see if the screenplay is on Drew's Script-o-Rama. If not, find one that is.

If it is, watch the movie with the screenplay on your computer screen and compare the written word to the onscreen image.

Prepare one page of screenplay with one scene on the DVD/Video to show & compare in class. Use the scene to consider aspects of composition as per the exercise in today's class (3/3).

PART 2

Due in 2 weeks (3/14)

Next, find a screenplay for a film you have NOT seen. Find one scene from the film, draw an overhead view of the scene as you imagine it, then quickly make a few thumbnails of how the boards for the scene might look. Then, rent the movie or watch on pay-per-view look at the scene and compare your interpretation to the one that was actually shot. How different were they? How similar?
