1. Take an index card. Number 1 - 6 down the left edge. Number 1 - 6 down the right edge.
2. Write down 12 movies you have seen. Collaborate with people at your table if you are having trouble coming up with twelve.
3. Look to the projector wall. I'll be using an online dice roller to help determine the mash up pairs. The first roll is the title on the left edge, the second roll the title on the right edge, and those two must be mashed up to create a new film. I'll roll for three pairs.
4. Use the rest of the space on the index card to doodle, sketchnote and work out the mash up title and a two sentence plot line for that mashed up film.
5. Check your email for a link to the form to submit your mash up title and plot, as well as the two film titles that inspired it.
After the mash ups, you had time to work on your AFI Top 100 scene recreations. Some folks used this time to turn in last minute/late/thank you for being so kind Mr. Ryder as to let us turn in work after the end of the quarter deadline was upon us work.
Next class you will be filming/storyboarding a scene based on a shot sequence provided to you.
This week. Two blog posts.
