11. + Exercise 1
Lumiere Minute - One minute to film
the weather where I live.
This can be filmed at school, in the
street, in your neighbourhood, in your
town, or out in the countryside,
wherever you live or spend a large
portion of your time.
Each participant will film their minute
from a fixed point of view, paying close
attention to sound.
A second, optional, minute is also
possible, where a long take, lasting a
minute, is filmed starting from a fixed
point of view, which then pans steadily
around, coming to stop at another fixed
point of view.
12. + Exercise 2
Feelings:
Give a representation or impression of
a weather event, such as rain, wind,
sun, fog, the cold or the heat. You will
do this by filming a series of short
shots, which can either be shot in
sequence, or brought together through
editing.
This exercise is an opportunity to work
on sound techniques, both in the
creation of sounds to reflect the
impression you wish to give, and also
in the recording of the sounds of the
weather events.
Each impression should last a
maximum of 2 minutes.
13. + Exercise 3
Seasons:
Film the same simple situation in
several different weather conditions.
The scene can be filmed and edited
over 2 or 3 shots. In each version of
the film you must have the same
location, the same characters, and the
same interaction between the
characters, but it should filmed and
staged according to the weather
conditions of the moment in which you
film..
If this exercise is filmed in an interior
location, at least one shot must contain
a view to the world outdoors.
The film should last up to 4 minutes.
14. + Film Essai
Make a short film around a love story or a
friendship which contains:
A shelter. This can be an urban shelter, a
hiding place or a shelter constructed
especially for the film
A scene of solitude or indecision, where
the mis en scene, the dialogue and other
considerations will be made in response
to the weather on the day of filming. The
elements of the weather that you
experience when filming should be
perceptible to the viewer.
You should break up the action in the film
with appropriately recorded moments of
weather elements, such as clouds, the
sky, rain or snow, which will create an
emotional response in the viewer.
Length: 5 to 7 minutes.
