Story Sequence

During this project, I learned different techniques and angles while using the cameras more efficiently. I also learned how to transition from one activity to another more smoothly and allow easier access to our angles. From my last video, I was a little shaky and I know now to walk away from the camera. It was easier this time to work with the actions seeing as we could move objects to get better shots and transition the cuts. Next time, I'll look at locations closer to each other and try to have more head room as well as foot room. I'll also pay more attention to the frames while filming next time. Collaboration is the action of working with someone to produce or create something. This was worked into our project by having two people working together, one behind the camera and one doing an action in front of the camera and working together to create something unique and something that you'll enjoy doing.

Hobby Video

The 6 shots in the 6 shot system are:
-Wide Shot- Shows a little bit of sceanery behind the person
-Extra Wide Shot- Shows in full detail of the whole scene going on behind
-Close Up- Shows only your face, and cuts off any top and bottom space
-Extra Close Up- Shows the hands or feet in detail
-Medium Shot- Waist and up (How you regularly see people in a desk)
-Over the Shoulder- Gets a view from over the persons shoulder

I learned how to position and use the cameras correctly, as well as get good angles. For my next project, I'll apply the camera more carefully and try using a better space than what we had. Also, I would adjust the camera more carefully since I know better how to use it now. In addition, I'll go through the music more cautiously and try them in my video.

Highlight Video

I learned the following tools in my highlight video:
-Command- C (Copy)
-Command- V (Paste)
-Command- B (Cut your video)
-Shift- Z (Compact timeline)
-Command- I (Import)
-Command- T (New tab)
-Space bar- (Play)
-Rewind- (J)
-Fast Forward- (L)

I chose gymnastics because I started it when I was 3, and never got fully into it, making it more of a hobby now rather than competing. I took interest into it because I saw all these girls on the Olympics doing all these cool flips when I was little and knew I wanted to be like them. Unfortunately over time, I lost interest in it and stopped for a couple years before I went back. Luckily I still had the same skills and didn't have to relearn them, and I still knew a couple people so it was easier to fit back into my normal schedule. Just very recently last semester, I made the decision to stop gymnastics and start with theatre, seeing as it was taking up my whole schedule. Every now and then I'll go to open gyms and improve my skills, but for now I'm going to stick to just watching.
