The Lyrics:
This is the short 1 minute film clip I made and to be honest I think it is no that bad in proportion to the amount of troubles that were encountered while making this short film, but overall the process of putting the short clips in order to make a film is one I did enjoy. The requirements that needed to be taken into account when making this film were to have:
- At least 5 basic camera shots
- At least 2 basic camera angles
- at least two basic camera movements
In terms of camera work i fulfilled these tasks as a got a range of camera shots, camera angles and a few camera movements some being the tracking shot, tilt shot, close up, etc. The film also had to completed using a title at the start and contain a mixture of diegetic and non-diegetic sound. As you can see the title of this video is 'The Lyrics' and according the use of sounds, the diegetic sounds are natural sounds that both you and the people in the video are able to hear therefore speech and sounds like footsteps are the type of dietetic sounds that can be found in my video, as for the non diegetic sounds in my video they were made possible by editing, like the 'hello darkness my old friend' at the end of the video
If there was one thing I would improve about this video it would be a simple decision, repeat the filming prices but this time taking the clips the right way around. The fact I did it on the phone confused me a bit which was the reason in my I forgot the key rule of recoding a video. I could play it off by arguing it was all intentional as it now allows people to lie down and watch a video the right way up without modifying the ergonomics and design of our current devices. A breakthrough in the world of technology.
Once I had got around the fact that I had to watch this lying down (!) I really quite enjoyed this Nathan.
ReplyDeleteYou show creativity in your idea and I like the fact that there is actually a story that is told in 'Lyrics'. You also use a combination of diegetic and non-diegetic sound and I like the use of Simon and Garfunkel at the end - this really accentuates the sense of disappointment that Michael's character feels.
There is some quite horrendous camera work but, overall, I think that you show promise as an amateur film-maker.
