I made another video! Collaboration…what is it? I think of it as cooperation. It makes sense, right? We all work together, so we all collaborate. In my group, we al worked together to film a video. So fun!! With the help of a few friends, I created a “two paragraph” video. It has two different actions in it, versus just the one. That means it has two Six Shot Sequences within it for each action. It makes it a little more complicated! I also learned the importance of filming correctly the first time… I had to reshoot a few scenes a few times because I did them wrong. Oops! In  my next project, I hope to take what I’ve learned and apply it. No more shaky  cameras for me!! I also hope to apply my new understanding of a complete  motion. I will have my actor start in the previous action and go through ALL the  motions so that I have options when I edit it.

Hey guys! It’s Makena. I made another video in my eComm class, and here it is! In the process of making this video, I learned about the 6 Shot Sequence. The 6 Shot Sequence is a strategy when filming video. It starts with an Extra Close Up, which is a close up that is even closer than a regular Close Up. In my video, this is the feet. A Close up is a shot of just one feature, such as someone’s head, or their hands. It then progresses to an Over The Shoulder Shot, which is an angle that has the back of the head and shoulders in it, along with whatever the person is doing. This is when she is dribbling the ball, and you can clearly see her head and shoulders along with the dribbling. The nest shot is a Medium Shot. This is a shot that shows the person from the hips up. Next, you have the Wide Shot. A Wide Shot is the entire person, along with whatever they are doing. And finally, you have the Extra Wide Shot. This is a shot that includes the person and the ENTIRE surrounding sc...
