shot types video 3rd attempt

Improvements/plan

Improvements:

• Avoid having space above and below the subject.
• Give credit to the musician at the end of the video.
• Avoid having eyes framed in centre of shot.
• Ensure there is no zooming seen in any of the shots.
• Link each shot together as part of a storyline.
• Try make the high angle more obvious by standing on something off the ground.
• Start pan shot on subject.
• Ensure subject is standing up when shooting medium long shot.
• Use the pull-out screen to ensure that the subject is correctly shot in the low angle.

Plan:

• Shots waiting for someone.
•  Use of phone/watch - Get phone call from someone.
• Call makes subject go to the door and open it.
• Find something -  extreme close-up.
• Shot of over the shoulder reading note.
• Tilt leading close-up
• Close up of reaction.

Evaluation of second attempt at video

When evaluating my first video with my second, I noticed a huge change in the quality of the video - the steadiness of the camera improved greatly the second time around after noticing that it was a bit 'shaky' in the first video.

The overall outcome of the second video was greater than the first. I was able to include more shots in the second than the first. I was able to include establishing shot, high angle and low angle. Although, when looking at the high angle, this was a bit shaky due to the fact Ollie was taller than me so to get above his height I had to stand on my tiptoes to maintain a high angle. This would've been done better if I stood on a set of stairs or something to make sure I was higher than Ollie and Genit.

In this first video, not much sound was created from the actual recordings compared to that of the second. Although I removed the minority of the sound from the second project, I missed out a section on the Medium close-up that was rather loud. This effected the overall video as it didn't look as professional.

The freeze frames worked really well in the second video. They were all 4 seconds and appeared on the a still image of the clip rather than the moving clips themselves. This made the video look better and more appropriate.

The end credits of the first video were really fast and went too quick to read them. On the second video I ensured that it was a little bit slower so the audience was able to see who created the mini movie and who starred in it.
