Your APin3 Production Package
The following elements MUST. be included as integrated elements of your video:
REQUIRED THEME: Sounds of Summer
What is a theme? A theme is an idea or concept that conveys a message and explores it through characters, setting, dialog, plot or elements. You can have a “title” for your video (i.e: “John and Mary visit Asbury Park”) but the “theme” conveyed should be “The Sounds of Summer”.
Undoubtedly, music is an important part of Asbury Park’s history and its present popularity, but there are many sounds that evoke what Asbury Park means to those who live, work and play here – sounds that are amplified in the summer months and help identify Asbury Park as a diverse, vibrant, artistic city. Your film can take advantage of the multitude of opportunities to illustrate the “Sounds of Summer” from your perspective as a resident or visitor.
REQUIRED LINE OF DIALOGUE: “Asbury Park is music to my ears.”
This line of dialogue must be spoken by a character or the narrator
