30 second video of the Patriot League Championship

Class on 2/22

Today's class we learned :

1) Reversals are when the camera switches from one person to another during an interview. It also includes a shot of the two of them.

2) Higher ground allows for higher power when shooting. It can be useful when looking to shoot an establishing shot.

3) Practicing with lighting is important

Today's class we started off by playing a game with DJ Ricky called "Call That Shot" where each team had the chance to call out four different types of shots within a music video. These shots ranged from exterior establishing to extreme closeup.

The team that won was the "Bad Boys"
 
(real winners were "just chillen")



Things I learned in class today:
Back to one -- this means to go back to the beginning
For a closeup -- any focus on a body part can count as a closeup - it doesnt have to be a face.
Words can count in an establishing shot
Quick dissolve-- one shot after another after another (quick switches)


We began practicing for interview with a show called "Chatting with..."
Julie and Julia did a great job interviewing their people and finding out 5 new things about their people.

Monday's class we got the opportunity to watch various different music videos and compare the different types of shots that each video uses. My favorite video was Taylor Swift's Blank Space. 

I enjoyed this class because it taught me something to look for in music videos which I normally overlook or take for granted.

Today's class I learned that I should 

never leave Doc Chris' class if he doesn't show up on time 

because I could get extra points :) 

We reviewed what we learned in the first class which touched upon 

1. 3 point lighting (key, back, fill)
2. shot composition (exterior, interior, long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up)
3. storyboards 

In addition, I learned for a 15 second video- it should contain 5 different shots.

for a 30 second video- it should contain at least 10 different shots. 

This is a way to keep the viewer interested because 

     Television has given us all ADD.
