The next project is a project where you'll be using motion tracking to either 1) stick text into an environment, so that the text has a sense of "camera shake," as if it's embedded in the scene that's being captured, or 2) the text is following some moving element in the shot (of course, you can use both approaches if you wish).
Instead of doing one shot with one title, I want you to film an entire sentence. The sentence must be at least five words long (and think of marrying each word to a separate shot - so that the whole sequence should be at least five shots long). You'll be creating a sentence, word by word and shot by shot – but also think of the "visual sentence" you'll be building, image by image.
I want you to storyboard this project – this can just be pencil sketches on paper – mainly for compositional reasons. Because you'll be integrating text into your shots, you'll want to plan a bit beforehand - so that you have room in the shots for the text to fit, without crowding out elements of the shot, or making the shot feel unbalanced.
By Monday, you should come to class with all your shots, and a hard copy of your storyboard (which you'll turn in). Give thought to fonts you'll use, as well as where the words will be placed in frame.
