New "Action Sequence" Production

I have always been fond of the assignment that I call "Action Sequence." It depicts one of my SC State University students getting up, leaving the classroom, making his or her way out the door, through the hall and down the steps from the third floor to the ground level of Turner Hall. 

Another student is the director and videographer, and later the editor using Adobe Premiere Pro to put it all together with titles and music and the clips that should be edited together into a smooth, flowing process. 

Last week I shot a sample "Action Sequence" with two students, Ariana Pinder and Andrea Fullington. 

The skills tested in this production exercise include communication and planning between the director and "actor", shot composition, lighting, white balancing the camera in different settings, editing and blog posting correctly. 

Here are some other "Action Sequence" examples from previous years. 

Sequence Shooting Project Starring Daniel and Naheka

Here at SC State, this was a project in my TV production and editing class. The task is to shoot and edit a student leaving our classroom building and going outside. The goal is to shoot and direct this so that there are at least 10 sequences.

The purpose of this project is to stress the importance of in-camera editing or sequence shooting in video production and visual storytelling.
