MDettwiler 6ShotSequence








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 scene.
        In this project, I learned the basic understanding of filming, such as how to use the camera and the importance of leaving it on the tripod. I Also learned a few other things, such as The 6 Shot Sequence. I leaned a few principles as well, such as two Close Ups in a row are fine, but two Wide Shots in a row are a no-no.

        In my next project I hope I can take what I’ve learned and use it. That way I get a really awesome video!!

PSA

The idea of the video was to hook the audience with something more dramatic and enticing, or in other words, a girl who is mad at her boyfriend because he got caught cheating. The viewers get to watch her argue with and accuse her boyfriend as they fight about what he did. What the audience doesn't know is that he is actually cheating off her school work. We tried to create an "Ohhhhh" moment, a kind of realization that dawns upon the audience when they finally figure out that he's cheating off her, not on her.  First, we sat down and looked at a list of PSA topic ideas, stuff like suicide awareness and drug abuse. When we had each settled on a few ideas, we brainstormed basic plot and synopsis ideas of each topic, and based off of those, ideas, we settled on Cheating. We figured it would provide the most interesting story for the PSA.  After deciding on a location, we visited it to finalize the decision. As the production designer, it was my job to ...

End Of Year Senior Reflection

e-Communication has greatly impacted my life, even though I don’t plan on entering the AV Communication field. I am going to school to study music education, and I plan to take the leadership skill I gained in this program and applying it to my own classroom. I feel that I am more technically advanced than a lot of other kids my age. For example, I made my grad party invites myself, after coaching my mom through the photography process and photoshopping my own pictures. I have learned to collaborate with people I don’t particularly like, and I feel this skill will help me in my future workplace. As a teacher, I will need to be able to communicate with my students and my coworkers, and my job as AD greatly prepared me for that. Managing a set taught me management skills by allowing me to know when to adjust deadlines and when to stick to them. Leadership went from being a quality I never had to one of my greatest values, and I’m so grateful to e-Comm for teaching me all of this. Le...

Star Wars IV: A New Hope Beat the Cat

Opening Image: Star Wars has almost two opening scenes. There’s the timeless yellow-words-scrolling-through-space-to-give-you-background-info opener, but then the movie actually starts, moving into deep space where a larger Empire ship is attempting to capture and board another, smaller ship. Storm troopers board the smaller ship, along with Darth Vader, and the first ever documented Star Wars battle commences. Theme Stated : The theme of this movie is to never give up, no matter what is thrown your way. Set-Up: Mid-Battle, a yet-to-be-introduced woman fusses with R2D2, a droid. R2D2 and his comrade, C-3PO (another droid), run for cover. Meanwhile, we find out that Darth Vader has boarded the ship in search for something – he’s looking for “plans.” Turns out, R2D2 has been assigned to a secret mission by the woman. He has been given these plans in secret, and they are stored in his hard drive.  The two droids escape unharmed in an escape pod, but the woman, who we find out to ...
