Chose up to 5-10 words..just randomly pick them don’t over think it just chose these words out of the blue. Then do a Google image search on these images and chose one of the first visible photos for the word..after you have chosen your words and your images put them together in video form and tell a story..include a sentence with each image to help guide your story or try and tell it without the sentences.
Take elements from multiple movie posters and mash them up into one. You can change anything- the caption, the title, the main image, etc. Lastly, make it seem like it could be a real movie.
Have you ever been asked a question like, āwho would win in a fight Batman or Spiderman?ā Do you feel like the answer to one of these questions is so obvious to you but not to others? Show people your choice then, take two fictional characters from separate universes and create a scenario of what their battle may look like. You can use any media format to present this battle: image, video even audio if you can somehow make that work. Hereās my example depicting Kisuke Urahara vs. Marian Cross: http://vimeo.com/41235764
Choose one of your favorite lines from a song and illustrate it using only typography. Consider how the font, color, sizes and placement of the typography can reflect or emphasize the meaning of the words. Check out the posters at Music Philosophy for ideas and inspiration.
Basically, it’s assignment that asks about five of the most influential albums of your life thus far. It would be anything from how it made you feel to just simply the fact that it had a catchy track. I’m asking that at least the album art is included in the post (if not actual sound samples from the album; I would ask, but blogger isn’t so kind about that sort of thing).
Take a scene from any movie (that includes more than one character) and rewrite it from the perspective of a different character. Write about the emotions and thoughts the character is having without acknowledging what you know from the original scene. For example: You could write on the scene from Titanic using Jack’s perspective while they were in the water and Rose was on the door. Be creative the possibilities for this are endless.
Have you ever tried to describe something to someone but you just couldnāt find the right words? What tells more about a movie than a movie trailer? Well you know what they say a picture tells a thousand words; in that case a moving picture must tell about a million words.
Create your own movie trailer for something you would likely not expect to see, e.g. for a class, a utensil, a cleaning product… Use all of the elements of trailers- the ratings, quick cuts, the deep narrated “In a World” voice- make it exciting!
Use a photo you have previously taken, and adjust the colors in the picture. Make sure to adjust more than one color. You can adjust the colors to be unrealistic, or make them go along with the idea of the original picture.
Take two different types of media which share a similar plot line and mash them up to better express the story. For example, use the audio from a book on tape and the film form a movie adaptation of the same story or maybe cut between two TV shows with episode that share a similar story line. It’s up to you, just explain your thinking!
Many well-known characters have brightened up our days just by uttering sometimes nothing more than a single word. Take a famous character’s catchphrase and illustrate it into an image. Try not to use the character themselves in the picture, make it so others can guess what the catchphrase being illustrated is.
