Project A6 Title: Two Person Dialogue
 Students will be assigned one of the ten shot patterns from the Katz text and will use it to create a 2-person dialogue scene based almost entirely on the pattern. In addition to the pattern itself, students are required to add an establishing shot, ambient sound, and two close-ups that are not of character's faces. The major script requirement, aside from correct format, is that there be a significant reversal-in situation or outlook for one of the characters in the scene. At the conclusion of this project the student(s) will create a 2-min dialogue scene based on an assigned shot pattern. This project is designed to allow students to: Success on this project will depend on lessons in: This project connects to # and # in the other Film assessments. It could also conceivably be used to connect to other assignments in the Diploma Programme, such as Essential resources include the Katz text, //Film Directing: Shot by Shot.// This project might be modified by adding the requirement for shifting from pattern to another. A moving camera might also be added.
