6 Shot Video Project

-

The six shot video assignment was a 30 second video that practiced using the axis line and the 6 basic shots of video; including extreme close up, close up,over the shoulder, middle, wide and extreme wide. Throughout the process I learned how how to use a tripod and how to edit videos in Adobe Premiere. I also learned that when recording a video to take as many shots as possible and retake shots if they can be improved on.

Before the video was made my partner and I made two story boards for our videos. We weren't able to bring our ideas together because of a lack of understanding and communication. We spent the first day recording my video recording a few shots more than once because of a new addition to the video. The next day we spent the hour recording my partners video and editing our own videos. Next time a project like this is given I plan to focus on making sure I have the rule of thirds and the axis line in the video. I would also focus on taking more shots so I have more to work with when editing the video. However I would keep the music and the basic story line.

To enhance my next project I would make sure each shot taken follows the axis line rule and the rule of thirds. I would also experiment more with the video. For example taking the same shot from different angels or perspectives for dramatic affect. I would also spend more time editing the video rather than spending time finding public domain music online. Lastly I would communicate with the team I'm working with better. I believe a lack of communication was one of many factors that lead to a video that could have turned out much better than it did.

Write a summary of the article, identifying the three key points. A new software makes animation easier through the use of MoCurves. MoCurves allow multiple parts of a model to be accelerated and decelerated in real time. Discuss the author’s argument. The author has come to the conclusion that MoCurves will eventually replace key frames and become the standard for most animation studios. Due to the unique function of MoCurves, which can transform multiple motion cycles at once unlike key frames which, despite their accuracy, can only transform motion cycles separately. What information/evidence and sources does he/she use to support that argument? The author provides a video explaining how key frames work and how MoCurves are superior to them. They also provide a brief summary of a study performed with 5 students without any experience with animation software to prove the superiority of MoCurves over key frames. What are the article’s/author’s strengths and

My Personality Type

ISTP Personality Type In e9 we took multiple versions of the Myers-Briggs personality test. In all versions of the test that I had taken I was an ISTP. An ISTP is someone who is observant and has an understanding of mechanics. ISTP types are also good at responding to emergencies and are attentive to detail and responsive to the world around them. A famous person who shares my personality type is Stanley Kubrick, a filmmaker. Does it match? I don't really think the ISTP matches my personality. I'm not very observant of the world around me. While I am reserved I am also withdrawn. I'm also not adaptable or independent. Often I rely on other people. During emergencies I tend to panic rather than keep my cool and deal with it. I don't think my personality type explains why I am the way I am or why I gravitate toward certain activities over others. Does my personality type explain aspects of myself? My personality type does explain why I've preferred to work

ABC Sequence

The assignment was to create a video focusing on the sequence of a video. The project required multiple shots to make any jump cuts less noticeable. We began the project by making a storyboard. The storyboard took a few attempts because we had to add pictures and redraw the story board. Next we checked out the necessary equipment and began filming. Filming the video took many attempts because there were many teachers and other students constantly walking by during the video. We also had to improvise some of the shots taken due to complications. Complications such as the front doors of the school having an alarm system that goes off if they're propped open for too long. Finally after taking all the necessary shots my partner and I downloaded our videos and began the process of editing our videos. I learned that taking the same shot over and over from different angles can greatly improve a video. The removal of jump cuts can also improve a video by making the progression of a video
