Library Day

     Greetings good people of Blogger, Sophie is back and here with some more news on the e-COMM  program. This time we did an A to B sequence, which means we went from one point to another. We had our partners drawn from a hat while dramatic music was playing in the background. I anxiously awaited my partners name to be told. "Carson" Mr. Cooper yelled out. I looked around and located Carson, my partner.
       We sat at my desk and tried to come up with an idea. The first idea was a bad janitor who is always creating and leaving messes instead of cleaning them, but over the weekend we both decided that the idea wasn't working out. Monday we decided on a comedy film and slowly we figured out what we wanted our scene to be, fighting over a book.
    The next day we decided to film. We scouted out an area and found a corner in the library that was quiet for the beginning of our scene. I grabbed a book and pretended to read, "finishing" it I look for a new book. Carson was also looking for a new book and somehow in our scene we grab for the same book which leads to the ultimate chase scene you've ever scene. He grabs the book and  I get a closeup of my scared face then he sprints out of the library, me, following quickly after.
      We sprint throughout the hallways and do some pretty epic stunts that involved me falling into a trashcan and bruising up my knee pretty badly. But it was so worth it because in the video it turns out pretty well.
      The video again was supposed to feature the six shot system and the rule of thirds as well as having each scene 3-4 seconds and using the axis line. It is always hard and there will always make mistakes but I have gotten better, way better. I had all six shots, well maybe not over the shoulder, I crossed the axis line a couple times there were some contiguity errors for example: I had a book in my hand for one shot then the next it wasn't there and another time Carson had a book in his hand and then threw it and for the next shot he had it in his hand again. There were also a couple jump shots and some of them were in the wrong order. Carson also stopped running to early for some of the shots and there was not way to get that out of the video so we needed to stay in movement. I also need to tighten up my editing and cut some shots shorter.
      My classmates liked the music I choose for my video and I used the rule of thirds correctly as week. I really enjoyed making this video, I had a good partner and it was creative. I'm excited to learn more in the e-COMM project, next week will be my last in the video/internment then I will move into graphic design. Not sure how i'll be at it or if the strand will be fun but i'm excited.

 Au revoir my friends,
Sophie
