AB Sequence

       While doing this project I learned how to better use the six shot sequence and film in two locations. I also learned that the shots must be less than four seconds in order to not be boring. I had to add more shots while walking because of this. It helped me be able to retain and apply this knowledge in future filming. In my next project, I will allow myself more shots so that the clips do not exceed four seconds, as this caused me some issues in this project. Collaboration is working with one or more person so end with a product. In this case we had to elaborate with the “director” and the “actor”. The director must give the actor detailed instructions to end up with the product they want to create. The actor has to follow the instructions to a point so that the group doesn’t have to film again. 

        The six shots in the sequence are the extra wide shot, extra close up, medium shot, close up, wide shot, and over the shoulder shot. The extra wide shot shows the entire scene. The extra close up is a close up of the hand and shows what the person is doing. The medium shot shows the person from hips up. The close up is a close up of the persons face to show a mood or reaction. The wide shot shows the person head to toe. The over the shoulder shot shows the relative view of what the person on film sees.       I learned how to line up clips so they look like a continuous shot. I also learned how the cameras worked and how to set up the tripods. In my next project, I will apply getting multiple views of the action by using these shots. This project was helpful in teaching me how to use different shots and how to film.
