More Setting


It's hard to upload videos straight onto here, but I wanted to show a little more of how I'm filming the opening based on my storyboard. This is just a test video that I uploaded to Youtube, and I filmed it a little too fast, so it won't be used in the final product.

Camera Movements

 Today I went over a topic that I accidently skipped: camera movements. The camera movements are the movement of the camera in the film at the scene is being shot.  First there's the pan, which is when the camera moves steadily from left to right. The tilt, which creates a Dutch angle, is when the camera is tilted at an angle, to provide a distorted effect. The dolly is when the entire camera is moved forward or back, similar but not the same as a zoom. A zoom is only when the lens is moved forward, and it allows for the viewer to focus in on what the director wants to emphasize. The reverse zoom works the same, except the lens is moved backwards and it's usually done to reveal the background and surrounding objects.  The crane is, as the title, as shot that's done on a long mechanical arm that's like a crane, which can widely show the area around the character.

Reflection #1

 How do your products represent social groups or issues? Reflection #1 Transcript: The group my film mainly targets is students. This tackles the issues that many students face, more specifically student athletes, who have a lot on their plate and need to keep focus. But it can also apply to students who are just struggling in school and have to work a bit harder to stay on track of their goals. The student population is a big part of our society, and is also a demographic that I'm apart of, so I wanted to do something that could relate to my peers and also a topic I personally know a lot about. In the voiceover, you can hear the main character, Miles, telling himself that he has a track meeting coming up, and that he just needs to focus on that and practice. He takes his track career very seriously, and uses it as a way to escape any other thoughts in his head, and I wanted to convey that by making it the first thing he does after getting ready in the morning, which is something I
