A to B project

In this project I learned how to set up different camera angles to make it look like one continuous clip. Using this I was able to set many different shots to help progress the story and make it more interesting.
I will apply this knowledge of angles to my next project to make it more interesting by showing different angles to work with lighting and the environment, which would make for a more intriguing video. I will also use angles to help with certain aspects of lighting to make the main character(s) really stand out.
Collaboration was important because without it, the video would have to be redone multiple times, or you would have to redo multiple shots multiple times. Also many shots needed the co-operation of others because some shots might seem random or extreme, which requires full trust and collaboration. Finally collaboration is important in your environment. Many times we had to wait for a teacher or group of students to move before we could continue filming. Collaboration was needed because we needed to work out when it was ok for the people to move or when it was ok to start filming again.

Ecomm video





The six shots sequences are, extra wide shot which sets the scene and includes all of the person. The next shot is extra close up, which in this video, showed only the hands. The medium shot is a shot of the persons body. Close up is a shot of the persons face, with a reaction to something via facial expressions. The wide shot is a shot that gets the entire person, head to toe, but only shows the person and a little bit of the area that they are in. Over the shoulder shots involve putting the camera over the shoulder of the person, so you can see exactly what they are doing.

I learned how to import sound to my video, how to properly trim and paste video segments, and I learned how to combine clips to make a smooth transition.

I will apply how to import sound to my next project because to make a video interesting, you have to add sound effects.
