We were assigned the "One Word Film" assignment. Using the word "boredom" given to me and my partner Parker, we were challenged to create a 60-90 second film with the word as the center focus. We had to use images, sounds, texts, and symbols to develop a story (that isn't a montage) that distinctly shows our assign word. However, in this film, no dialogue was allowed, and had to use our shots to clearly tell a story.

    While brainstorming ideas, we decided to create a story about a student bored in class. We wanted to clearly show the student's thoughts and emotions, and how bored he really was.

The storyboard was a vital tool in planning out our shots, and also helped us develop a story in order. During filming, we could easily check the shots we had to film, also making it serve as a checklist.

To edit, I used Adobe Premier Pro, as I have past experience.

I believe that Parker and I clearly demonstrated the theme of boredom with our shots. They were all high quality, and used imagery to showcase our one word. For the future however, we should make sure our shots can retain viewer attention, and make more appealing shots.

Camera Shots Quiz

 

Camera Shots Quiz

    In class, instead of having a traditional quiz, to text us on our knowledge of camera shots, we had to create a story. We had to create a visual story using one or two inanimate objects as our characters. We had to shoot 15 shots, including specific types like an establishing shot, long shot, medium shots, close-ups, and others. After we took our 15 pictures, we out them all in a PowerPoint, labeling them all and writing a brief description of the purpose.

    For my group, we wrote about a bear, named Barry, who goes to school for a day, and we showcase some events that took place in school. We first created a list of the scenes that we need shots for, and then labeled them with the fitting shots. After, we went out into the hallway and began taking our photos. I believe my group did an excellent job taking the fitting photos, as they all came out great. My favorite shot that we produced was the over the shoulder shot, which turned out high quality, and perfectly fitted the definition for it. However, I believe we could've improved one of our close-up shots has my hand partially visible.
