ASSESSMENT TWO - Due Monday 1st November (Week 14) at 11.59pm (40%) DIRECTORS STATEMENT Write a Director’s Statement outlining how you would direct a film based on one of your own original stories that you have devised yourself. This can be either the same idea you used for your visual sequence or another original idea you may have. We assess the story and your ability to communicate your vision of a film, encompassing its key elements, from a director’s point of view. Use what you have learned in the lectures about genre, casting, cinematography (that is camera & lighting style), production design (including costume design, hair & make-up and locations), editing, sound design (including music), special FX and Visual FX and more to illuminate a story on the cinema screen. Use at least FIVE of genre, casting, cinematography style (that is camera and lighting style) production design, sound design including music, editing, special and visual FX. This assignment is worth 40% of your overall mark. The overall word limit is 1600 words with the usual +/- 10% applying. The Title and Logline are NOT included in the overall word count. NOTE: The difference between a log line and a tag line: A “logline” is a movie’s concept boiled down to one or two sentences: On his deathbed, a father tells the story of his life the way he remembers it: full of wild, impossible exaggerations. His grown son tries to separate the truth from the fantasy before it’s too late. A logline can be thought of as the shortest possible pitch of a movie — what a writer could use to sell an idea to a buyer in just a sentence or two. A “tagline” is a short, clever one-off found on a movie’s poster: An adventure as big as life itself. Taglines are used by marketing departments to sell movies to audiences.https://screenwriting.io/what-is-the-difference-between-a-logline-and-a-tagline/Links to an external site.
