For this assignment I had to produce 3-7 seconds videos based on six of the camera movement techniques I created in my storyboard with my teammate. This is to show that we understand how to apply the key concepts of camerawork and camera movement into a production. We chose to produce static shot, tilt shot, tracking shot, arc shot, whip pan shot, and zoom in shot. Me and my teammate decided to split the roles of being an actor, cameraperson, director, and screenwriter evenly. I was the cameraperson for tilt shot and tracking shot. My teammate was the cameraperson for the whip pan shot and arc shot. For static shot, I just placed my phone on the ground to film since it was a ground level shot also. For our last shot, I had two of my friends help me to create it. I directed my friend as to what he has to do as the cameraperson. Then me and my friend played as the actors. My teammate was the one who scripted this shot. All of these shots were filmed on my phone which is iPhone 8 plus. I then edited these videos and produced them.
The most uncomplicated shot for me to demonstrate was tilt shot. It only required for me to tilt the camera and shake it since my scene was to illustrate an earthquake. My teammate then just needed to act as if they are stumbling and then fall to the ground. The most complicated camera movement shot for me to demonstrate was tracking shot. To record this part, I had to crouch down and be able to follow my teammate in a normal pace. It was pretty uncomfortable position, and it was harder since I had to make sure not to shake the camera. This was a fun experience to work because I finally get to actually work. Most of the time I am just inside my classroom doing paperwork, but now I finally got the chance to film and act. Me and my teammate were also able to get a lot of work done quickly, since we gotten the chance to know each other's strengths and weaknesses. The only technology we used to create these videos were an iPhone and laptop.
