Over The Shoulder

When my group planned our shots, we had to take height into consideration. In order to solve this problem, we decided to shoot ourselves as we were sitting. We also had to think about the sun's position and place ourselves accordingly. We did follow the rule of thirds because that was the only way we could see both people at once. Over the shoulder shots give the impression of seriousness between the two characters because you're only able to to see one character at a time. The final edit of the dialogue could have been a bit more realistic because there is some extra space between each sentence. The mood of the video is serious and we were able to do this by pausing a lot in the dialogue. While using over the shoulder, it's important to do all of one character's dialogue at one time so the camera position stays consistant.

Green Screen Workshop

So basically, a green screen background is used to give the editor the ability to choose what the background/location of the video will be. While filming with a green screen, it's important that there is plenty of lighting because when shadows are present, it is difficult to edit around them. Also, you need to move as little as possible because there's only a certain amount of space available to edit with while using the green screen and if the subject moves out of the area, the video won't turn out the way you want. I think it's easier to use After Effects while editing with a green screen because you can edit the background and subject to the point and it will look like clean edit.

HEY FREAKS! I'm Ryan. My introduction

Here is my introduction to the class. Day one: we formed our filming groups and recorded each other saying our name and something about us that most people don't know. This part of the project was easy, it was importing the clip to Premiere Pro and editing it that was difficult. The first day we edited, things were going good and I was on task. I had almost finished when class ended, so i saved my project and left it for the next class period. When I returned, I realized my clip didn't save so I had no choice but to start all over! When I started over again I didn't have a timeline tab, so Dr. A helped me to figure out how to add a new one and I was on my way to success. When I exported the clip, I exported it to the wrong file so I had to move it to my file. I finally posted it on youtube.com and onto my blog. This was way too stressfull for my liking and I hope these problems don't happen the next time I have to upload another video.
