Lesson 6: Weekly Task Brief — Sequence Video + Shot List

What you will submit this week

You will create a short sequence video that tells a simple story through shots.

Final Deliverable

✅ One sequence video (45–90 seconds) filmed on your phone, showing:

• beginning → middle → end
• mixed shot types (wide/medium/close)
• steady footage (as much as possible)

You will also submit

1. Your shot list (text/photo/screenshot)
2. A one-line statement: “My story is about…”

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Choose your story idea (5 minutes)

Pick something simple and real:

• school routine
• work/hustle
• family activity
• making something
• a place with meaning

✅ One main idea only.

Step 2: Create a shot list (10–20 minutes)

Use 6–10 shots:

• 2 wides
• 3 mediums
• 3 close-ups

✅ Put your shot list in notes or on paper.

Step 3: Film your clips (30–60 minutes)

Rules:

• Each shot: 6–10 seconds
• Hold steady
• Avoid fast camera movements
• Keep light on the subject

✅ Aim for 10–15 clips total.

Step 4: Edit (simple) (20–45 minutes)

Minimum editing:

• Trim the start/end of clips
• Arrange into a sequence (beginning→middle→end)

✅ If you add music, keep it low.
