P1 Proposal

Composition and angles.

 Here is a very famous scene from Star Wars, A New Hope.  It shows Luke Skywalker looking at the beautiful binary sunset.  In this scene George Lucas used the rule of thirds to make this scene look more appealing to the audience as he is looking at the binary sunset so he is more to the side of the shot.  Here is an example from the scene with the grid for the rule.

See how he is on the left line and therefor makes the image more appealing than for example this shot that I edited:

This shot is not as appealing as the shot before as he has barely any space and it doesn’t show that much if he’s looking at something bigger than him.

Response to Brief | Unit 3

 In this brief for Unit 3 'Creating a Music Video' i have been given a lot of free reign on what i have to do and make.  So i have decided to deign and make a jazz music video with the song "I cant Believe that your in Love with Me" by the great Billie Holiday.  

Unit 3 Assignment Brief

 

180 Degree Rule with filming Conversations

 First of all yes that is me with my good mate Tom Shuttleworth and with the great photographer Ollie Evens.  This 'out of context' conversation on trees is meant to show the how the 180 degree rule works.  The 180 degree rule is basically there so the audience isn't disorientated by keep the filming in one direction and not the other way.  The video was a bit bad with the quality and probably with the acting to but it is mainly to experiment with editing and Ollie Evens did a pretty good job so i recommend looking at both Ollie Even's and Tom Shuttleworth's Blog as they are doing the same course as me.

Here is an example of the rule and the green is where you are meant to film but the red is the 'NO GO' area.

Shot types

 

This is a Establishing shot, it is there to show geography of the setting and can show the time of day as well.

This is a master Shot, it is meant to show the geography of the scene and to introduce the characters in it, like me there!

This is a wide shot to show that I am either lost or isolated.

Here is a full shot, this is a shot were you can see the character head to toe.

Here is a cowboy shot, meant to show the confidence of the character by looking up at the from the waist to above the head so the audience can see the holster of the cowboy.

This is a Medium shot and is meant to be from above the waist to above the head, photographers use this shot to show the neutral side of the character, enough to see the character but not enough to fully see their emotions and feelings.

This is the Medium close up and is meant to make the audience more intimate with the characters by seeing more emotion closer.

This is a close up and only shows the face.  We use this shot so the audience can empathise with the character by seeing there full emotions. 

Here is an extreme close up and you can only see the eyes of the character, this has been used for all sorts of movies, mainly western and action films just before the character is about the fight.
  

Controversial Music videos

 There are a lot of controversial videos out there but after looking at this, at the time this was controversial at the time as it was about genocide and how evil it is.  It was presented in a world where people with ginger hair where hunted down and killed brutally for what they look like.  It is very graphic and has nudity, graphic deaths and also a little kid is shot in the head!  I recommend that you don't watch it if you are squeamish for blood and gore but it has a good message and how genocide is the most evil thing ever in human kind's history.
