WHY TO DO A FAN FICTION

The purpose of this activity is that by doing something that they know well participants can learn how to write and how to put in images an story. It's going to be easy and fun but at the same time they are going to learn how to work on team, they are going to discover many different crafts. To go from deconstruction to re-construction is a wonderful way to learn how to make a movie.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO

First step: Choose it!

• To make this project we ask to our group to explain one scene of a movie that they love. They have to learn that a scene has unity of time, space and action.

Second step: Deconstruction!

• Once they choose one they work on group to make a Decoupage. We ask them to take some still pictures of the scene to analyse the scene.

• Draw of the shot
• Characters
  • Actions
  • Dialogs
  • Clothes
  • Propps
• Space
  • Atrezzo
  • Location
• Time
  • Duration of the shot
• Music
• Light

• Then we explain how to make a decoupage. It means that they have to take each shot one by one until they have something similar to a storyboard.

Third step: Plan!

They have to prepare a storyboard and shooting schedule. It's important that we think how every take was done and what is more important we have to figure out how are we going to make it!

Four step: Share rols!

• Director
• Camera
• Fotography
• Sound
• Producer
• Art
• Actors

• They have to prepare the set. It can be done on a real location or it also can be done using a chroma key. It depends on the acces and time that we have to spend on it. So we can choose a image to be the background of our story

Five step: Organize!

Sixth step: Practice and go for it

• We can practice some times so everybody knows what have to do.

• Everybody has to be in its place: 4, 3, 2, 1 ACTION!

We try some times and director says it's okay it's time to finish.

seventh step: Everything in the right place!

• All has to be in order and clean

Eightht step: Edit!

Nine step: Wich is more fun?

We can see the resoult and compare the original and ours. Then it's going to be fun to share it with friends.
