My Marvelous Movie Shots







This is an eye level shot. This was an easier shot to get as my star is surprisingly photogenic and not scared of the camera, unlike my water bottle, which terrifies him.


This is an over the shoulder shot. As you can see, the cat was clearly ready for his close up, and truly believes he is a movie star.


This is a full shot. Although it was challenging to hold the camera steady, the outcome was worth it.


This is a medium angle shot. Since the subject moved so quickly, making sure she stayed in the frame all the way throughout was a bit challenging. 

This is a low angle shot. It was difficult to film this shot without almost getting kicked in the head, which is why it was taken from the side.

This is a point of view shot. This shot was relatively simple to film and didn't take more than one try.

This is a cut away. It was challenging to get the timing down, and took more than one try to be successful.

This is a long shot. This shot wasn't extremely difficult to capture as all I had to do was make sure my friend's full body and partial surroundings remained in the frame.

This is an extreme close up. this shot was easier, as the angle wasn't difficult and the camera didn't really need to be held steady.


This is a boom shot. This shot was more of a challenge, as the star of the shot had already had a camera in his face for five minutes, such a diva.

    I enjoyed the long shot, it made me feel happy and excited. The boom shot was very well done, and it made me feel eager waiting for the cat to jump. The cut away shot was filled with anticipation and I found it kind of funny because of how gracefully she fell.

    I enjoyed the over the shoulder shot of your cat. I felt from the over the shoulder shot playfulness.
    I also enjoyed the low angle shot. It had a little bit of action and moved with the subject. It made the viewer feel small. Lastly, I liked the cutaway shot too. It felt like things were moving quickly. It invoked a sense of urgency.

    Your Extreme Close -up shot was very well filmed and executed. I like how you followed your subject's movements subtly, and stayed focused on them.
    Your Boom-shot was filmed great, I like how instead of just keeping the camera at one specific angle the entire time, you followed the action of your subject upwards to the counter. Great job!
    Finally, I thought your Cut-Away shot was great! Not a lot of people did this shot, as it is bait challenging. You did a phenomenal job moving the camera away right before the "action" or result of an action has occurred. I can tell you really tried and prepared well for this assignment, good job.

Week 7- Editing

Image
 This week we continued to edit our film and finalize the background music. Since we did most of our editing last week, all that was left was to focus on adding the music which can be seen in the image below. Then, Theresa, Peter, and I looked over our opener one last time. Almost everything from last week remained the same. We had the same title, fonts and kept from adding any more visual effects or transitions, as it would disrupt the flow of the film.  For adding audio, we had to look up legalities for adding and uploading music on your computer then into iMovie, the editing app we used.  One of the problems we faced was uploading music that we liked and wouldn't be copyrighted. However, after watching tutorials we figured out how to do it.  This took us two class periods to figure out.

Week 6- Editing

Image
      This is what Theresa's screen looked like while editing. While Peter and I helped out, Theresa editing the main parts and added music.     These are different photos taken from all of us editing different parts of the movie opener. We all discussed what order the clips should go in and made sure they were all the same length.     We placed titles at the end of the movie opener to create a more suspenseful and dramatic atmosphere. We titled our opener "The Next Level," as it seemed fitting for highschool athletes who are signing onto be a part of the collegaint level. The best place for the title seemed to be in the center.          Some of the different video effects used were fade away, cross-dissolve, and cross blur.   Fadeaway was used most of the time because it provided a seamless transition into the next clip.           During the editing process, the decision was made to use ...

Initial Storyboard

Image
  Summary: This week, Theresa, Peter, and I began to outline what our film opening would look like by creating a storyboard. This will help us come up with a script and figure out when we should transition into the next scene. We all came up with the idea of our opener being based around a high school softball and baseball player, who will be played by Theresa and Peter. I will act as a college scout from FGCU, looking for them to play for the school at the next level. The purpose of this is to show what a high school athlete goes through when they are trying to play at the collegiate level.      The first scene is Theresa and Peter walking out to the dugout for practice. This shot will establish and set up the opener. Next, they will be in the dugout showing all the equipment they need for practice. Following this, Theresa and Peter will be throwing a ball back in forth to warm up, when they see me sitting in the bleachers wear an FGCU shirt and carrying a clipboard...
