HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 1 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT How would you film your story into a 20-minute segment your friends would sit through? And keep in mind that in addition to entertainment, most dramas are produced to convey a film- maker's point-of-view or messages/lessons considered important. So first, consider the mechanics. What types of lighting, sound, and other technical techniques convey your drama's theme? What framing and camera angles would you use for each scene? Why? How will they convey emotions? How will they contribute to your drama's success? Similarly, what editing techniques would you use, such as transitions in and between scenes, ways to compress time, means to establish locations, and so forth? Why? And what would you suggest to others about their filming and editing techniques?

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 2 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT Coordinating your responses here with DQ 1, consider the story you wish to tell. Stories require conflict, or at least a lot of tension, in order to generate interest. So, first, what's the conflict in your story and how are you plotting it out? Also, movies, like plays and TV but unlike books, must use what's called the “objective point-of-view” because they cannot show directly what characters are thinking and feeling. They are limited to showing the exterior of characters in ways that reflect what's going on internally. And they do so in compact units called “scenes” made up of action, mannerisms, and dialogue. So who would be your characters? Why? How would you have them act in what sort of scenes? Why? What is your dialogue trying to accomplish? Why?

HUM 150 Week 3 DQ 3 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT DQ 3 covers settings. DQ 1 covers mechanics and DQ 2 covers characters and plotting. So it's only natural that to tell your story, you need to provide the fundamental elements of setting (including but not limited to location, time, era, weather, and buildings). Sometimes setting is essential to a story, such as in The Perfect Storm, in which the setting is so integral that it could be considered a character unto itself. And there other instances when setting is not so essential. Once you'd determined the influence setting will have on your story and characters, you can turn to figuring where and why you'd place doors, windows, tables, stolen jewels, corpses, and other props. How would you employ the setting, props, etc. to reveal character information,.

HUM 150 Week 4 DQ 1 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT Name some characteristics one will find in all documentary films. How do they contribute to the documentary? Can documentaries and their components be measured the same as other film genres, such as Westerns or comedies?

HUM 150 Week 4 DQ 2 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT One way of judging films (as well as literature, poetry, other forms of drama, etc.) is through time – specifically, by responding to the four following questions: 1. When was the particular film created and/or produced? It is of an era, after all, and will reflect the era's social morays, cultural quandaries, economic conditions, and so forth. 2. When does the film take place? Very often serious films reflect their era in a more honest and forthright manner by “disguising” their contemporary issues in prior or future times. It can help make the hard stuff easier to swallow. 3. When did you watch it? This, of course, brings up the whole topic of eras again – now vs then. And does when the film is set work better or worse now than when it was originally released?

HUM 150 Week 4 DQ 3 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT What about the acting in animated or half-animated movies?
