I definitely noticed the different camera angles that each person used in their videos. This makes me realize that camera angles add a lot to a film, and really help in relaying an idea or strengthening the story line. My camera angles were often looking up, so I am looking for change this a little to make my video more interesting. Suddenly changing the camera angle in a way that makes sense in the piece is something that can really strengthen a movie.
I want to concentrate on formalism in my final project. I already have some footage that I know I will be able to use, such as the shot of the blinding sun through the bare branches of a tree. I need to continue this idea in filming the rest of my footage. I need to keep in mind the transitions that we learned about in the abstract video to keep my film flowing.
The most important thing that I learned in class today was how I need to budget my time. I need to do a lot of shooting over Thanksgiving break. I will be using my family's video camera for this. Unfortunately, I also learned that I will not be able to get my footage done before break for the 10% increase in my grade. This is because I want to wait until over break to see if I can wait for some snow for my film.
