Camera Movement Reflection

     In this film, the main focus was camera movement. There are many different types of movements that you can use while filming to help create a certain type of scene. For example, using a hand-held camera movement might mean that the scene has something to do with action or running. 

    One camera movement that I used was a dolly camera movement. I sat on a rolling chair and had someone push me, as if I was slowly approaching the actor without walking. It created this cool slow motion affect. 

    Another camera movement I used was the pedestal movement, moving the camera from high to low. This was an interesting movement because you really had to be careful when holding the camera so that it would be a very slow and steady movement. 

    Once he finishes drinking water and says "okay, let's do this" I decided to use a zoom camera movement by zooming in on his face. This created a pretty cool shot from moving to a medium shot to an extreme close up shot.

    I also used a tilt camera movement as the socks were being caught by Lucas. I chose to use a tilt camera movement for this shot because I really wanted to exaggerate the catch instead of just having the socks fall into Lucas's hands.

    Once Lucas got on his bike I chose to use a hand-held camera movement and follow him for a little, really creating this action type shot.

    For my last shot, I wanted to film it as if he was biking slowly out into the distance. I used an extreme long shot here and was focusing on a high/birds eye view angle for this shot. I chose to use a slow pan movement that way it would really look like he was slowly biking out into the distance.

Tennis Documentary

  Tennis Documentary By Dylan Grodner, Starring Nicole Dgani     Nicole and I are both very good friends and we wanted to work on a film together. Turns out, although we are very good friends, we didn't know each other's favorite hobby. It ended up taking some time to think of what we like to do and what we could make a film on. After thinking about it we chose Nicole's favorite thing to do, tennis. It really didn't take much planning besides coming up with questions because they were all things Nicole could answer on the spot which is why we didn't focus too much on a script. Although there was not much planning, there were some questions asked that even Nicole hadn't thought about. When asked about her  inspiration for tennis, she first answered "I don't know. I don't think I have one". Once she thought about it more though, she came to the conclusion that it is between playing with her friends, her father pushing her to play and try a new sp...

The Stalker

I practiced many different types of film during this assignment, some of them being cutting on action and focusing on the eight different angles. I used these types of film, because I think that they went really well with the type of film that I was doing. I think that the result came out very good because I wanted to make a creepy film, but at the same time a film where you could tell what was going on without any dialogue, which I think I accomplished. I also really liked making this film because I really felt like I was a real movie director and there were some points where I wanted to film even more and make it like a real long movie. I would next time maybe add some dialogue to make it look more like a real movie. As I was saying before, I am happy that I was able to create a film that is understandable without any dialogue, although I think it would have helped.

TV Shows I Have Watched Over Quarantine

Image
       Over quarantine I watched many shows and movies, but two of my favorite TV shows were The Office and All American. These are both shows that once you get into them, they are really hard to stop watching. There were even some nights that I would stay up till 2 in the morning watching these shows.       I really liked The Office because of the comedy. There was not one episode that I could not laugh, matter of fact, I could not even go five minutes without laughing! That's how funny this show is! I learned about this show through many people, I just did not both to watch until quarantine when we had nothing else to do. I found it very interesting how the setting takes place in an office because they could have made any type of plot but they chose to go a simple route, and make the setting and plot revolve around an office. The message that they are sending is just showing what happens in an ordinary office day. The visuals are pretty good bec...
