Unit 3 - Narrative VisionStudents will -

• turn their visionary skills to the narrative structure of documentary film making• understand how documentary film is different from other types of film making• appreciate how documentary film makers use different styles and approaches to

communicate their vision• use the critical analysis process to help them understand how the narrative structure is

applied to different documentary films• create an individual short documentary structured around a single question and a bigger

group production which explores a relevant issue in a narrative style documentaryapproach.

Unit 4 - Experimental VisionStudents will -

• consider an experimental approach to video by discovering the work of video basedinstallation artists who work "Beyond the Silver Screen"

• showcase their individual strengths in a storyboard assignment and their ability to workcollectively towards a shared vision in a final summative work

Instructional Strategies:

Lesson#1: I came, I saw, I conquered: The Six WordMemoir

Teacher will:• introduce the concept of "Six Word Memoirs"• show a variety of Six Word Memoirs, which may

include hard copy books (see Resources), digitalstill images, or video clips

• explain the history behind the Six Word Memoirciting Larry Smith founder of Smith Magazine(http://www.smithmag.net/) as the originatorbased on a story about Ernest Hemingway: In

Lesson #3Students will complete a feedback form(to be located at every computer station)offering constructive views on thetechnical quality, the sense of illusioncreated in the dream sequence, andhow the videos made them feel.

Each group will also do a selfassessment to review the technicalquality, the elements that worked well,and those that may need more work, aswell as each group membersinvolvement and ability to work as ateam.

The teacher will take his/her feedbacksessions into account, but thesummative assessment will be in theform of a teacher/student co-constructedrubric that will focus on technical,aesthetic, and teamwork elements.

the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway bet ten dollarsthat he could write a complete story in just sixwords. He wrote: "For Sale: baby shoes, neverworn."

• ask students to use the Process Journal tobrainstorm possible Six Word Memoirs that saysomething about themselves or about how theyfeel about something. For inspiration, teachermay prompt: If your friend was introducing youto someone new, what would they say? Whatwould your enemy say? What aggravates you?What makes you want to leap for joy?Brainstorm a list of 100 words that describe you.Name the 25 experiences that you've had that

you think might define your life.• ask students to generate at least 4 possible

Memoirs• ask students to work with an elbow partner to

rate each using a score based on word flow,clarity, message, and personal relevance

• have students select the Memoir that they ratedthe highest, and brainstorm for imagery thatwould work visually with the text by producing anumber of thumbnail sketches in their ProcessJournal. If they are using digital still images, itmust be an original image taken by the student,they may want to try a few different images withtheir text, and then choose the most successfulone.

• decide what format the project will use based onavailable technical resources. It may be a singleframe from a digital camera that has a textoverlay (or incorporated into the frame, such asa student holding something that has their SixWord Memoir written on it), or it may take theform of a very short video clip of moving action inwhich the Memoir is revealed

• or a student will, compile all of the digital filesand create a presentation for the class to view.The files could also be printed and displayed orprojected in the school.

Performance Tasks for Evaluation:

Lesson #3A teacher/student co-constructed rubricas a summative evaluation of a videoshort that manipulates video footageand/or still images with an originalnarration/soundtrack that relates to apersonal dream, or memory of aspecific experience.

Lesson #2 - Back to My Future

Teacher will:• preview a number of short video rants (from the

Internet); highlight a variety of filmingtechniques and subject matter

• generate a class discussion concerning whichvideos were effective and what made themsuccessful

• inform students where to find resources on postsecondary schools and programs within theschool. In most cases, hard copy information isavailable in the Student Service office and thelibrary. Students may access online informationabout post secondary opportunities as well

• organize students in pairs and have themcomplete the Post-Secondary Survey Form (seeappendix AWR4M 1:1 Post-Secondary SurveyBLM). Using the information they have gathered,students will informally rate the post-secondaryprograms based on their own set of criteria (thecriteria may differ from student to student).Students will then create a list of all the possiblepathways for their post high school future. Thismay include returning for another year, enteringthe workforce, traveling, apprenticing, orstudying at College or University. From this liststudents will create a 1 – 2 minute monologueabout what they might do after high school. It willbe written in the first person tense and include aprojection on what post-secondary programs areavailable and what choices they are entertaining.Challenge students to make their research and

opinions in an entertaining way - visually andthrough the content

• encourage students to consider locations thatreflect the dialogue, such as in the library or at acomputer when talking about post-secondaryprograms, in the gym if they have athleticambitions, or in technology areas if they have aninterest in apprenticeships and the trades.

• organize a screening of finished films withteacher/peer feedback.

• Note: The filming and editing of the “rant” shouldcreate the illusion of a seamless dialogue.Student’s wishing to attempt a rolling film, one

DI

The Six Word Memoir can utilize avariety of skills and interests.Depending on the students's ability/interests, the assignment can rangefrom a printed image with text to a shortmoving image clip with voice-overnarrative.

The Back to the Future project can betaken in a very individual directiondepending on the students post-secondary path.

Extensions

As an option in the Six Word Memoir,the teacher may ask the students toincorporate their name into the finishedpiece.

take, no edit technique as seen on The MercerReport should consult the teacher beforebeginning the filming. Both students in the groupwill take turns at being the actor and the cameraperson, and they will co-edit their films.

Lesson #3: I Had A Dream

Teacher will:• preview a number of dream scenes from a

variety of movies• guide students in a discussion of some of the

techniques that directors, editors, andcinematographers use to create a dream-likesequence

• organize students in groups of two to four,students will plan and create a scene that relatesto memory or dreaming states of mind

• inform students of the requirements for thevideo: 2 - 3 minutes in length; detailedstoryboard and script; soundtrack, a narrativeand/or sound effects

• challenge students to create a script based onan original dream or memory that one of thegroup members experienced. An alternativechoice might be to use a memory of a specificexperience as the basis for the video (the samecriteria applies)

• monitor the development of the script (in mostcases the dialogue of the character or charactersis limited, and the visual effects and soundtrackare more powerful) and offer feedback. Theteacher will also monitor how the groupmembers are working together, and rearrangegroups if need be

• review basic camera concepts and thestoryboarding activities from the AWR2O course.As the group is working on the script they shouldalso be developing a draft storyboard thatreflects both the audio and visual elements.Once the script is finalized, the group shouldwork up their storyboard to a finished state (for arefresher on storyboards visithttp://www.dynamicimagesdr.com/ to view thework of David Russell).

• conference with each group and review theirscript and storyboard before they begin filming.

Glossary of Terms

Ambient SoundAmbient sound is background noise that is provided by the "natural" environment. If this sound werenot present in the projection of a particular scene -- specifically a scene in which the only sound isdialogue -- the scene would sound hollow and empty to the audience. The environmental noises canbe recorded by a separate microphone during filming or may be added by the foley artists in theremix of the scene.

BoomA mirophone placed on a long pole. Used to pick up sound in the scene but must not be seen by thecamera.

Camera AngleThis term refers to the point of view held by the focal point of the camera when it is positioned forshooting. The name of the angle refers to where the camera is. Some of the more commonexamples are:

Eye Level AngleEstablishes the viewer as a participant in the scene, and observer. Makes the situationappear real.

High Camera AngleWhen the camera is placed above eye level the effect is a diminishing of the character orscene. Can be used to communicate more information about a scene, especially when usedwith extreme long shots and establishing shots.

Low Camera AngleWhen the camera is placed below eye level the effect is an empowerment of the subject or alarger than life appeal.

Dutch AngleA specialized camera angle that does not employ the normal horizontal and vertical axis butinstead employs a diagonal axis with the intent of creating sense of tension or uneasiness inthe audience.

Camera MovementRarely does the camera remain still or static. The main ways a camera can move are panning, tilting,tracking or zooming of the lens. Some examples are:

Dolly ShotA camera movement usually used on a still subject or scene. The camera is in motion on adolly, which is a tripod on wheels. When the camera moves into the scene or towards thesubject it is called "dolly-in"; likewise, when the camera moves away from the scene orsubject it is referred to as "dolly-out". This a much more professional choice than zooming.

Tracking Shot

Page 11: AWR Film/Video 4M - Ontario Art Education Association · 2018-09-24 · AWR 4M Film and Video This course will further develop the knowledge and skills that enable students to communicate

A specific camera shot in which the subject being filmed seems to followed by the camera.The camera moves with the subject. The shot can be achieved through tracking devicessuch as the use of a crane or dolly. In a pinch the camera person can be pushed along in achair on rollers!

Pan/TiltPanning is achieved by moving the camera while turning it on a horizontal axis.Tilting is a vertical movement. This technique is useful in communicating an overall view ofthe scene, lead the audience to a particular person or place, follow a movement across ascene, or give the audience the perspective as seen by a character when moving her/hishead.

ZoomThis is accomplished through specialized lenses which change the focal length of the lenseto create the appearance of magnifying the image for close up shots. While the focal lengthis in motion the camera appears to move in or away from the subject or scene.

CopyrightAn artist's legal right to control the ownership of their work.

CraneA long pole extension to mount a camera on to achieve greater height.

CreditsA list of names for the roles and responsibilities in the movie.

Depth of FieldThe distance from the camera lense in which focus is maintained.

DialogueThe spoken words in a script or movie.

Diegetic SoundSound that appears to come from within the actual scene of the movie. Non-diegetic sound isdubbed in during the post-production process such as music and voice overs.

Digital ZoomA simulation of large lens. In reality the camera just enlarged and cropped the image. Causes alower picture quality.

DubbingIn the film industry dubbing refers to the addition of sound effects, music, and dialogue on top of thatwhich has already been recorded. Dubbing also indicates the addition of the complete dialogue overthe original dialogue track in a foreign film.

DV (Digital Video)Moving images that are recorded as digital information. It retains its quality when copied.

The manipulation of these devices willaffect the tempo of the film as it is viewed by the audience and can achieve quick and unnervingeffects or slow, gloomy moods.

Field of View or FramingThe area covered in the viewfinder of the camera. Some examples are:

Extreme Long Shot (Establishing Shot) EAn extreme wide angle that shows a large view of the scene. At the beginning of a film orscene a wide-angle or full scene shot for the purpose of identifying the location orestablishing the setting. This allows the audience to become oriented.

Long Shot (Full Shot)This shot most often refers to a complete body shot of a subject (from head-to-toe) . Used toshow action and information about body movement.

Medium ShotA shot showing the waist to above the head of a subject. Often used for dialogue,

conversation, or interviews.

Close-up (Reaction Shot)Often taken at close range or through a telephoto lens, the close-up provides detail of aperson's face or the features of an object. The image can be quite striking and is often usedto communicate emotion and reaction.

Extreme Close-up (Detail Shot)Magnified close-ups in which an extreme detail is used for the purpose of dramaticemphasis. Tension is usually created as the viewer is not accustomed to being so close to asubject and not seeing the rest of the scene.

FilmLoosely refers to a motion picture. Specifically, the celluloid material used in traditional filmmaking.

FirewireA cable that allows for very fast transfer of data from a camera to the computer.

FocusAdjusting the lense to create a sharp or unsharp image as required.

Instructional Strategies:

Lesson #1: Masterpiece Trailers

Teacher will:• preview a number of film trailers to exemplify: the rapid

pace of the editing; use of a non-linear timeline; extremeuse of framing; and the inclusion of narrative informationabout the film, the cast, and the production company.

• lead a discussion as to the essential components of asuccessful movie trailer: the skill of editing, the use offraming, the pace of the trailer, the building of tension withsound, the information revealed about the painting, thecharacters, and who is responsible for making the film

• summarize that a trailer is a series of frames andsequences that have been edited together in a way thatusually gives the audience pieces of information aboutthe plot, the characters and the genre of the movie (seeGlossary). The advantage that the creators of the trailersthat we see in theatres is that the movie was alreadyshot, and they had all of the film footage to work with. Inthis task, students will create a movie trailer, withouthaving shot the movie

• show the class a number of famous artworks chosen bythe teacher for their strong emotive content (eg. The Thirdof May, Raft of the Medusa, The Night Watch, LasMeninas - the possibilities are endless). Teacherprompts: What is the mood of this artwork? W is thisartwork known for? What is unique or special about it?How could you highlight this aspect in a "moving"

format? How might you be able to add the element of"time" to this 2-dimensional work?

• arrange the class into groups of 3-5 students. They willreview the artworks, and decide which artwork they willuse as the subject of their trailer. They should conduct abit of research to determine the historical context of thework

• explain the expectations for the creative process, and willconference with the students to provide feedbackthroughout:

◦ research information◦ make decisions about which information to

include to entice viewer into wanting to "see themovie"

◦ develop a rough outline for their movie

Lesson #2

The three-column chart shouldbe submitted and assessed byusing a feedback and commentsheet.

Page 20: AWR Film/Video 4M - Ontario Art Education Association · 2018-09-24 · AWR 4M Film and Video This course will further develop the knowledge and skills that enable students to communicate

◦ create paper frames (individual storyboards) andsequences; demonstrate different crops/framingfrom the original painting on each

◦ keep purpose in mind - to create a fast pacedtrailer with a dramatic soundtrack/narrative

◦ rearrange single frame storyboards into differentsequences until the group is satisfied with thepace and flow

◦ suggestion: start at the end of the trailer,introduce the plot and end with a climax point;fill in the middle of the trailer with clips that

follow the planned narration or dialogue◦ the dialogue and narration can be as powerful as

a fast-paced sequence◦ when the paper sequence (storyboard) is

complete, the students can begin editingaccording to their plan

• share the requirements of the trailer with the students:◦ 1 minute max.◦ story-board◦ non-linear◦ extreme use of framing◦ narrative information◦ text information; credits (name, artwork,

soundtrack, group members)◦ dramatic soundtrack◦ self-reflection in process journal

• work with students to co-construct a rubric for successincluding the requirements as outlined above

• screen the trailers and critique

Lesson #2 - Setting the Stage: Mise en Scene

Teacher will:• introduce the elements of Mise en Scene through a series

of video clip screenings, showing specific scenes thatexemplify the use of lighting, framing (depth of field,aspect ratio, and perspective), colour, production/setdesign, movement (blocking), casting, makeup, anddiegetic sound

• preview a number of films and choose scenes thatexemplify one of the elements of Mise en Scene. Afterviewing each selection students are asked to respond tothe following questions: What things stood out in thescene? What type of feeling did you get from viewing thescene? Explain why you felt this way by referring to thingsin the scene.

Lesson #3

The teacher could develop arubric for the grouppresentation, handout, andgroup discussion, or couldprovide constructive feedbackby using a Blank SheetCritique. Each member of thegroup should also providesome type of feedback andreflection as to how successfulthey were, and how themembers functioned as agroup.

• encourage feedback and discussion about the viewedscene. The teacher will refer back to the scene anddiscuss the use of the element of Mise en Scene that he/she chose it for (see first point, above)

• have the students record the information on the DirectorAnalysis Chart (see appendix AWR4M 2:1 DirectorAnalysis BLM) - a blank, 3-column chart with headings forElement, Movie/Scene and Description. As the teachergoes through the series of scenes students will respondto the questions, then fill in the information in the chart.After all of the scenes have been shown the students willhave a chart listing elements of mise en Scene and givingat least one example of each

Lesson #3 - Study of Famous Directors Use of Mise en Scene

Teacher will:• review the use of lighting, framing, staging, and post

production effects as they pertain to mise en scene andthe creation of mood and coherence in a film

• share a list of famous film directors who are noted forusing highly developed mise en scenes.

• arrange the students in small groups (2-4 per group).Each group will choose a famous director from the list to

determine how he/she utilized cinema-graphic effectssuch as mise en scene and post production techniques totell their story. Each group should have access to a leasttwo films by their chosen director. Note: In cases wherestudents are viewing and analyzing films it is ideal if theteacher has a small classroom library of films for studentsto use rather than having students rent films. For thistask, the teacher could include only directors films forwhich they could access. Some students may haveaccess to personal libraries.

• instruct students in the groups to view each film, orselected scenes from each film, and describe the ways inwhich the director created the mood/feel/environment

• distribute the Director Analysis Chart (see appendixAWR4M 2:1 Director Analysis BLM), and have thestudents identify specific scenes and record informationunder the following headings: Physical Set, Lighting,Color, Framing, Depth of Field, Movement and Blocking,Diegetic Sound (sound from the scene), and PostProduction Transitions and Special effects

• have each group conduct a short and concise researchactivity into the possible influences on the director(Teacher prompts: Was the film based on a novel? Doesit fit into a specific film-making approach? Is it within a

Lesson #4

The teacher and the studentswill co-create a rubric prior tothe beginning of the task. Itshould include assessment fortechnical proficiency, the use ofmultiple shooting and postproduction techniques, conceptand storyboarding, whether it issuccessful in being a sensorybased work, presentation (bothpre-shooting and finishedproduct), and group work.

certain genre? etc.) The group will use the information tocomplete a good copy of the chart that will be used as ahand-out during their presentation. If groups are able toview a number of films by the same director, they canalso gather information on the similarities and differencesbetween the use of the elements of mise en scene andpost production techniques.

• provide assignment requirements - each group will:◦ present their findings by sharing one or two short

clips of the films they analyzed◦ prepare a handout with film identification and

details of their research and observations◦ provide feedback and personal reflection as to

the successes of the group, individuals androom for improvement

• have students fill in the blanks of their comparison chartfor the various directors and films

• lead a class discussion on the similarities and differencesamong the directors and films

• develop a rubric for the group presentation, handout, andgroup discussion, or could provide constructive feedbackby using a blank sheet critique strategy

Lesson #4: Make Sense of This!

Teacher will:• introduce a number of short videos that are meant to

impact on the viewers' senses (the NFB web site is agood resource). Video artists such as Carsten Nicolai andmultimedia artists such as Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass,and Kraftwerk also have material available online

• lead a class discussion about the student reaction to thevideos, with students responding to what type ofsensation they experienced when viewing each of thevideos. (Teacher prompts: How did the video make youfeel? Did the video play on one or more of your senses?How would you describe what the video was about?)

• lead the class in a review of the directors that theystudied in Lesson #3 of this unit

• arrange the students into small groups, students willchoose a director who has a recognizable style and wayof shooting that they can mimic during the creation of ashort, sensory-based video. Students should considerboth the visual and audio elements when choosing thestyle of a director

• ask the student groups to brainstorm for a concept andpossible content of the video. The video can be moreabstract or it could be based on a real-life scenario

Instructional Strategies:

Lesson #1 - Tell it like it is!

The teacher will:• lead a discussion to determine students'

prior knowledge of documentaries;(students share titles of documentariesthey've seen, purpose, styles &approaches of filmmakers, subject matteretc.)

• show a short documentary film (seeresources for suggestions) and havestudents make notes in small groups on aplace-mat format of how this type of film isdifferent from fictional films (Teacherprompts: what is unique about the"characters"? the settings? the subjectmatter? What is the intent of thefilmmaker? What bias do yourecognize?)

• have each group prepare a brief summaryto be presented to the class and discusstheir findings

• record and post the summaries

*Note regarding teacher preparation: preview andselect different types of short documentaries orclips from longer films for class screening. Thereare a large number of documentary films availablefor free screening on the websites listed in theresources at the end of this unit. It is valuable topre-screen a number of these so students can begiven some direction in their selection of films toview.

• teach the students about the purposes ofdocumentary film-making (According toMichael Renov, (Theorizing Documentary.New York. Routledge, 1993) the mainintentions of documentary film are: torecord, reveal or preserve; to persuade orpromote; to analyze or interrogate; and toexpress

documentaries that fit each category asthey are viewed for analysis. Some filmsmay be appropriate for more than oneheading.

• teach the students about the styles andapproaches of documentary film-makers.There are many different types of

documentary films that use a variety ofstyles and approaches to their subjectmatter. Bill Nichols (Introduction toDocumentary. Bloomington, Indiana:Indiana University Press, 2001)categorizes the different approaches todocumentary as: essay style;observational style; participatory; reflexiveand performative. (see resource page formore detail).

• instruct the students to use a T-Chartformat and have students view a numberof films on-line and document theirreaction. This activity will inspire the nexttasks in the unit.

Lesson #2 - The Big Question

Teacher will:• share clips from any number of short films

with this type of structure to inspire thisassignment.

• instruct students to work individually togenerate ideas for the assignment andshould keep a process journal. In thejournal the student will prepare a numberof possible questions for the subject of thefilm and then select the two they think aremost promising.

• arrange the students into groups of threeand share their questions to generate peerfeedback. In the peer feedback, studentsshould discuss the suitability of thequestion for the school environment;making sure it will not offend anyone;predict what people's reaction to thequestion would be; and whether or not thequestion would generate enough variety tomake an interesting, one-minute film

• tell students to react to the peer feedbackand make a decision about what question

• conference with students about theefficacy of their question, and approvetopics when they are ready to proceed

Any type of video camera could be used includingcell phones or still image camera with videorecording. Sound will need to be monitored.Students should ensure the video camera is closeenough to clearly record subject's voice and notpick up too much ambient sound. Students willkeep to within the school or home environment tofilm. Student safety should be stressed. Once alarge number of people have responded to thequestion then the editing process will begin. Usingdigital video editing software, the footage will beedited to generate the desired rhythm and mood.Narrative structure should be discussed; anintroduction to topic, a building up of tension, aclimax (punchline) and then resolution.

Lesson #3 - Everyone Has a Story

Teacher will:• lead a discussion on the potential topics

for documentaries. The subject should besomething that is relevant and studentshave an interest in but appropriate for theschool environment. A suggested topic isconcern for the environment. Al Gore's"An Inconvient Truth" or any movie byMichael Moore can be viewed and point ofview/bias discussed.

• arrange students into production groups of4-5 students who will

◦ develop a name for theproduction company

◦ work through the creativeprocess and document theirprogress in a journal

◦ generate ideas for thedocumentary, conference withthe teacher, and select one

• approve topic choices and send thegroups off to plan the video with ashooting script (see appendix AWR4M 3:1

Extensions

As an extension, students can find adocumentary student film festival and entertheir film. This should be encouraged to assiststudents in having their film extend beyond theclassroom and school environment. (seeresources for possible student documentaryfilm festivals)

Glossary of Terms

Ambient SoundAmbient sound is background noise that is provided by the "natural" environment.If this sound were not present in the projection of a particular scene -- specifically a scene in whichthe only sound is dialogue -- the scene would sound hollow and empty to the audience. Theenvironmental noises can be recorded by a separate microphone during filming or may be added bythe foley artists in the remix of the scene.

BoomA mirophone placed on a long pole. Used to pick up sound in the scene but must not be seen by thecamera.

DocumentaryA film that is not fictional. Usually factual and investigative in nature.

DubbingIn the film industry dubbing refers to the addition of sound effects, music, and dialogue on top of thatwhich has already been recorded. Dubbing also indicates the addition of the complete dialogue overthe original dialogue track in a foreign film.

External RhythmThe pace at which a film moves. Rhythms are sometimes the signature of a director and include her/his cutting, filming, angling and dolly/panning procedures. The manipulation of these devices willaffect the tempo of the film as it is viewed by the audience and can achieve quick and unnervingeffects or slow, gloomy moods.

MicrophoneA device used to convert sound to an electrical impulse so it can be recorded.

NarrativeA story structure that usually involves an introduction to a situation, a series of events and aconclusion.

Point of ViewThe perspective from which a story is told.

TakeA continuous recording of a shot or scene.

Voice-overVoices recorded and added to the movie after it has been shot.

Unit 4 Description - Experimental Vision (Approximately 35 hours)

This unit addresses non-narrative video art production and explores contemporary and post modernart practices. The teacher will introduce students to Canadian and international artists who use videoprojection based installation as their chosen artistic medium. Students will showcase theirunderstanding of camera work by creating a storyboard illustration. Students will work in small artistcollectives to complete a non-linear and non-narrative video art piece based on a common themeagreed upon by the class. The group videos will then be brought together to produce a longer classfilm. Students will be challenged to create a video installation by manipulating a space and/or surfaceto view the film.

Assessment for and ofLearning:

Lesson # 1

Check for understanding byproviding formative assessmentof the magazine scavengerhunt assignment. Peer andteacher descriptive feedbackcould be provided if the lessonis extended to include a briefreport on an individual artist.

Lesson #2

As a summative evaluation,students should be madeaware of the indicators ofsuccess prior to beginning thestoryboard and forming theartist collective. The teachershould provide an evaluationrubric for the individualstoryboard and the group videoproduction. This could be ateacher/student co-constructedrubric. The storyboard shouldprovide students with theopportunity to show theirmastery of camera work,(camera angle, framing andcamera movement), theirunderstanding of sound(original soundtrack, ambientsound, dubbed sound effects)and editing (transitions, paceand frequency of cuts) asstrong tools for communicatingthe concept.

materials, techniques, tools, and technologies when producing orpresenting art worksC3.3 explain how art works can have both a positive and negativeimpact on the environment

Instructional Strategies:

Lesson #1 - Beyond the Silver Screen

Teacher will:• share a number of recent (within the last 5 years)

contemporary art publication (eg. "Canadian Art","Juxtapoze" or "Art in America" magazines) as aintroduction to contemporary art practice. Using thetemplate provided, (see appendix AWR4M 4:1Contemporary Art Forms BLM), have students scan thepublication for examples of video, installation andconceptual art works

• present a number of different artists and their approach tovideo projection and video installation art. Artists such asNam June Paik, Bruce Nauman, Bill Viola, RafaelLozano-Hemmer, Fabrizio Plessi, Pipilotti Rist, TonyOursler, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller could beviewed.

• lead a discussion about modern and post modern artpractices (such as: conceptual art, appropriation,juxtaposition, globalization and intertextuality). Studentscan record their reaction to the artists and their work intheir journal or on a chart provided by the teacher.(Teacher prompts: How is video used differently from its

traditional use as film or TV? How is a non-narrativestructure used by these artists? How is meaning createdwithout a recognizable structure? How does the mannerin which the video is projected affect the meaning? Howdo the artists incorporate video into the larger installationart piece?)

• assign each student to pick an artist and research theirwork and technique as a possible extension task. Theresearch could be formatted on a single print out andvisually displayed in the classroom to inspire the rest ofthe unit.

Lesson #2 - Conceptually Speaking (summative evaluation)This is a Summative Performance and should be weightedappropriately.

Teacher will:

is also a valuable tool forevaluating the creativeprocess.

Lesson # 3

After the installations have allbeen experienced, the classcan use a pre-determined list ofsuccess criteria to generatepeer/teacher feedback in ashort presentation style classcritique. Students shouldreflect on what worked well andwhat could have been improvedin their process journal/sketchbook.

Page 39: AWR Film/Video 4M - Ontario Art Education Association · 2018-09-24 · AWR 4M Film and Video This course will further develop the knowledge and skills that enable students to communicate

• lead a discussion of big picture concepts and themes;brainstorm list of possible concepts or themes for thisassignment

• provide guided success criteria to co-construct conceptsthat will allow for artistic interpretation and creative videotechnique. Concepts such as Time (show clips from "RunLola Run"); open-ended subjects such as "Water"; or anelement or principle like "Movement" or "Tension" canwork very well.

• remind students of concepts of non-linear and non-narrative as introduced earlier

• instructs students to individually create a "masterpiece"storyboard of their own personal interpretation of thetheme (use good quality illustration board 15"x20" sostudents can add this to their portfolio). This storyboardshould show the student's mastery of planning camerawork to express ideas creatively. Notations under theframes should reinforce the student's understanding ofthese concepts.

• arrange the students into 'artist collectives' (groups of 3-5)after the storyboards are complete, and the individualstoryboards will be "pitched" or presented to the rest ofthe group. (It may be useful for the teacher to giveexamples of different artist collectives such as GeneralIdea, Fluxus, Guerrilla Girls etc)

• have the collective follow the following plan to create theirmovie:

◦ make a plan for their video art piece based onvarious parts of the storyboards or ideas inspiredby a combination of ideas from the storyboards

◦ The collective will then meet with the teacher todiscuss how to realistically implement their plan

◦ The students will then work through the creativeprocess as it applies to film making (pre-production, production and post production) tosee their video to completion

◦ Students should keep a process journal/sketchbook to document the process, providingopportunity for teacher, peer and self reflection

• provide students with a variety of handouts as attachedas appendices

◦ 4:2 Video Art Project Outline◦ 4:3 Process Notes◦ 4:4 Video Art Group Reflection◦ 4:5 Video Art Evaluation Rubric (added as a

sample)• create a co-constructed rubric with the students

The finished films will be organized into a class film. The structureof the film can be organized with class input. The films can bewatched separately and then as a class discuss the order in whichthey should be shown. A rich opportunity for discussion of makingmeaning from the separate films and how juxtaposition createsnew, unintended meanings will ensue.

Lesson #3 - Space and Time (extension)

Teacher will:• revisit some of the artists from the first task of this unit

and discuss some of the ways an artist can incorporate avideo projection into an installation piece.

• discuss the term "site specific"• follow the points in lesson #2, but in this case, the

students will create a video that is site specific• instruct that the group will assess the technical needs

(LCD projectors, plugs, extension cords) and also ensurethe installation will not interrupt the flow of traffic or breakthe fire codes within the school. (Look for nooks andunder stairwell spaces etc that may have a plug nearby.Always have black gaffer's tape ready to tape downelectrical cords etc to ensure safety). The group will needto monitor the exhibit so the equipment is safe fromvandalism as well. Some ideas for school friendlyinstallations could be: create a large paper-basedsculpture on a wall of the school and project the video onthis; use fabric/clothing on which to project the video; adda fan for movement; project the video on the floor orceiling in a certain space; create a large cardboard boxwith the interior/exterior meaningfully interacting with thevideo; project the video on the wall and ask students tobe interactive in the space.

Installation ArtArt work that usually incorporates the space it is being presented in as part of the actual art work. Itcan conatin objects, video, sound, light.

Non-linear EditingDigital editing allows clips, images, music, etc. to be moved in and out of sequence.

RhythmA principle of composition which uses the repetion of imagery and sound to create a pace or tempoin the film. Both the sound and the editing will create rhythm.

Script or ScreenplayThe written "recipe" for the film with scene descriptions and dialogue.

Site-SpecificA work of art installed or created for a pre-determined location.

Special Effects (FX)An effect imposed on a clip to give it an unrealistic or surrealistic feel. Can be created in camera or ina digital editing program.

StoryboardIn the process of planning a film the camera work is often depicted scene by scene.Storyboards are an overall, general depiction of the entire filming sequence showing the artisticchoices for camera angle, camera movement and framing.

TransitionThe way one clip leadds into another such as fade, cut, and dissolve.

Video InstallationAn art work that uses a projected video image or a monitor to show video as part of a largerinstallation work.
