AB Sequence


 What I learned about this project is how to do one idea and turn it into two different 6 shot sequences and how to work as a team for shooting shots. What I will apply to my next project is probably to motivate myself to try to contribute as much as I can and try to come up with some ideas. Although I can't really come up with them I usually need someone to bounce ideas off of. To define collaboration, in my words is that collaboration is when you work with 1 or more people and try to accomplish something. This really was important to my project and group because we worked as a team and you know the old saying "Two heads are better than one" It is true, if you work together and get stuff done it is a whole lot faster hen doing it by yourself. Teamwork is one of the most important things and life and I hope to continue to do that.

6 Shot Sequence


The six shots in the six shot sequence are the Extra Close Up (XCU), Over the Shoulder (OTS), Close Up (CU), Medium Shot (MS), Wide Shot (WS) and the Extra Wide Shot (XWS). Here is a description of what they exactly are.

Extra Close Up- Is to find a way to get a close up of the hands.
Over The Shoulder- It shows what that person is doing.
Close Up- Is a close up of the person's face and answers the question of who it is.
Medium Shot- Shows the person from the hips and above
Wide Shot- Shows what that person is doing, but not the entire scene.
Extra Wide Shot- Sets the scene.

What I learned is all the different shots in the 6 shot sequence, how long to shoot each shot, and you can't have wide shots back to back. In final cut pro I learned how to detach the audio. What I will apply in my next project is to work faster so I'm not behind and not ask so many questions unless I have to.
