Dockey Goals & Guidelines Tell the story of the piece with excitement and/or humor. The Purpose of ShakeShock.com is to inspire and educate. We seek to take classic pieces of literature, and adapt them into short video-works to make them more accessible to today’s audience. Do not show the reader of the poem reading into the camera. No single shot can remain on screen for more than 7 seconds. You can have additional dialogue and characters speaking in the piece separate from the poem. However, you cannot alter the poems actual wording in its English translation. If you choose to have additional dialogue, make a clear distinction between the poem, and the added dialogue, by using separate voices. Don’t be afraid to experiment with shots, color, and sound. Utilize stylistic elements when framing your camera shot, such as: Gels Silhouettes Shadows (blinds) Mirrors Sound effects Writing Guidelines Learn and understand what the story is about, and then tell it visually through metaphors. Don’t make fun of the characters, or use derogatory humor. Try to convey a detailed breakdown on: i. Characters ii. Plot iii. Subtext iv. Structure (Chapter by chapter and scene by scene) Dockey Writing Examples i. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy [Blu-ray] ii. Penn & Teller's TV Series iii. The Kid Stays in the Picture iv. Brainiac Science Show on G4 v. Blind Date - The Ultimate Collection Dockeys must have good sound and avoid room tone hum and reverberation. Sound can often make or break a film, so don’t underestimate it. Do not use static shots of professors explaining things into camera. All your paperwork must be signed and in order. Save all your Tapes, EDL’s, and Editing logs. All dockeys must be exciting and vibrant. Examples of documentary format: i. Moulin Rouge! ii. Loose Change: A Look Into 9/11 iii. William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet iv. Night Watch v. Titus directed by Julie Taymor Oh, and don’t forget to put the word Dockey in your tags, to let people know you’re competing for the cash prize. Get your friends to log in and vote for you, since that will affect the judges. Finally, go to our Terms & Conditions page, fill it out, and mail it in. You can’t be considered a participant unless you fill it out, and mail it in. And if you’re under 18, don’t forget to have your parents sign the parental release form.
