No Film School

All Oscar nominated films of 2015 used an ARRI Alexa to create the films. There is a go to for film makers when it comes to filming a movie. Other than a select few directors use a different style of camera in order to achieve their vision of the the film. The best camera on the market for filming in 2K is used and the directors need to think on how to make the movie interesting and unique from other films.

Directors do not want the movie to be a flop just because the shots were not interesting enough and they did not captivate the audience. They must tell a story with these shots and if all of them look the same they will not be able to win any awards. Through the magic of editing, the camera angles and shots might be able to look similar, but ultimately the colors and audio will make the shot look more unique and interesting. For example when Wes Anderson used film instead of a digital camera he had to make the set look aesthetic enough to capture the eyes of the audience.

Throughout my process in making a film I have learned a great number of new techniques and how to handle problems as they arise which I believe other Cameramen go through during a shoot. People do not trust the cinematographer's sense of what the movie should look like and they are not able to preform at peak performance.

During this final year of e-Communication I was able to grow as a person, friends, and member of society.

There was a sense of family when I was in ninth grade, this is still true 3 years later. I learned to complete projects on time and how to create videos efficiently in order to turn the projects in. Also I learned to work with people that did not really want to be in the program. The difficulty these kinds of people can bring are astronomical. They do not do the work and have no motivation to do anything. I was pulling all the slack and creating a video I was happy with and one that impressed people. I learned how to create an amazing video using my cinematography skills. Compared to my first video, my last final reel showcased some of my best works, and I say some because I could not find some of my other projects I worked on. I learned different terms and uses of th...

This is the over the shoulder shot from our video. ONW Planner Procedure The scope of the project was to capture the various procedures in the planner and my partner and I chose to do the video about how to use the planner properly. Our process was to get notes from the client and see what the client wanted to be in their video. Then from those notes we came up with ideas and wrote them down. After we wrote down our ideas we grabbed a storyboard and came up with a few ideas for shots then fine tuned them. This was a medium shot to capture the teacher signing the planner.  For the shooting we followed the storyboard almost exactly and we remembered the 6-shot system and the 180* rule. The six shot system consists of six shots (duh) and they are Extreme-wide, Wide, Medium, Over the shoulder, Close-up, and Extreme close-up. We needed to use all of them but we missed the Extreme close-up in our video. But for the shots that we did take they were correctly placed ...
