For this assignment you are required to “define a space” somewhere at
Hunter College or nearby by recording 10 shots on your camcorders. For this assignment we will not use the synch “natural” sound from the camera.
Space is defined as much by how people interact with it as by how it looks. Spaces look different from different angles, and with different focal lengths. So think hard about the feeling of the space you've chosen. Is it cramped or open? Speedy or relaxed? Glaring or murky? Devise a strategy to capture that feeling.
Things to keep in mind:
--What kinds of shots and camera angles will you use?
--What kind of movement will you use, tilt, pan, tracking shot?
--How do the shots juxtapose and work with one another?
Once you are done shooting, return to class, download the clips to each partner’s USB drive. Time permitting, we will screen your shots in class.

Consider using an overriding theme:
reflections, the city, seasons, shadows,
voyeurism, and interaction. Think also
of the built environment: machinery, signage, architectural anomalies. Finally another approach is to give your
work dynamism by thinking in terms of polarities of public/private,
interior/exterior, hot/cold, light/dark.
Today:
--Working in pairs/teams, select a space outside of the classroom to film/expressively define through the camera.
--Create a shot list with your partner! Here is a template.
--Once in your location, take turns shooting!
