PRODUCTION
Transition Challenge
LETS GET STARTED
STEP 1 : Choose a location and an object
Your object will be used to cover the camera in order to create the transition.You can either choose an object based on a location (ex. a hairbrush in the bathroom) or an object that does not belong in that location (ex. a skateboard in the bathroom). It must be dark and opaque for the effect to work.
STEP 2: Practice covering the camera with your object.
Choose an action that uses your object. For example, if you use a hairbrush to cover the lens, once you take it off, bring it to your hair to brush it! After brushing your hair, put the hairbrush back on the lens. This way, your object begins and ends the movement. Of course, you don’t need to use your object for its intended purpose; instead of using your hairbrush to brush your hair, you can use it as a microphone.
STEP 3: Double check your camera!
Make sure that when you bring the object to the camera the screen is completely black. This is important, because in order for the transition to work the camera needs to be completely covered.
STEP 4: Start recording!
Make sure your recording device is in landscape mode (horizontal)! This is important so that when we put all your videos together, they all fit cohesively. Your video should be between 5 and 20 seconds.
BONUS STEP 5: Film multiple objects in different locations!
If you have access to an editing software, you can take multiple clips and then put them together yourself! Here is a helpful tutorial: https://youtu.be/fzJrD7Snf4U
