5 Master Edits by Tessa and Shea



Contrast: For contrast Tessa and I decided to show two very different parts of my day, starting with a shot of me studying content for AICE Travel and Tourism, then cutting to a video from last year after making a three against Golden Gate. 

Parallelism: For parallelism Tessa and I walked along side each other on the way back to class, alternating who recorded.

Symbolism: For symbolism we decided to zoom in to the Trojan poster in Mrs.Henderson's classroom then cut to a zoom out on the Trojan statue in the courtyard, making it almost appear as if we transported 

Simultaneity: To show simultaneity we started with a shot of our classroom during first period AICE Media Studies at the beginning of the period, before cutting to Tessa jumping around the courtyard, as class continued inside.

Leitmotif: For the leitmotif shot we showed the same shot of me studying before cutting to what was going on "inside my head" which as usual is irrelevant to the task at hand

My experience with different angles

My first shot was an extreme long shot as it was taken from my roof, it was fun to be able to see how different such a familiar scene looks at a higher angle.

My second shot was a high angle shot because I filmed my dad while he was below me, this one wasn't as fun because I almost lost my footing during the first recording, however it once again showed me how different an event could look due to a slightly different vantage point.

My third shot was a low angle shot because the camera was looking up at the action unfolding, a.k.a me feeding my dog.

My fourth shot was a close-up as it only included the bottom of the blender.

My fifth shot was an establishing shot, as the grey clouds set an eerie vibe to an otherwise bright, happy day.

My sixth shot was a point of view shot because the camera followed exactly where I was looking as I went to shoot the basketball, this one was harder to film because I struggled to keep the camera steady.

My seventh shot was an extreme close-up of my dad's eye because my mother did not feel like participating unfortunately.

My eighth shot was a full shot of me shooting a layup, which was easy to film.

My ninth shot was me making a pass to the camera, which made it a head on shot.

My tenth shot was a reaction shot to me realizing how expensive the ACT is to sign up for.

My eleventh shot was a follow shot, of me following the ball as it rolled through my yard, another really easy one to follow.

My twelfth was a dolly shot of me walking up to grab the mail, it was pretty shaky so i have to work on holding my hands steadier.
