For our course initiation, we were given a unique quiz focused on camera shots based on our previous lesson. The assignment required us to create a visual story using the various shot types we had learned about. We were allowed to use two inanimate objects as characters, in addition to including human characters. The main goal was not just to identify and apply these shots accurately, but to ensure each shot was used in a way that effectively conveyed its intended meaning. We were tasked with incorporating 10 mandatory shots and choosing 5 additional ones ourselves.
Inspired by my partners and I deep love of Romance films we decided to incorporate that. To add personality and action towards the keychains, we used notebook paper to create faces for each character, this would help add to intense scenes that required facial emotion. The Mickey mouse was depicted as a damsel in distress, while the astronaut appeared strong and determined. Our story's pre-determined ending was that, despite his unassuming appearance, the astronaut was the one destined to go on a journey to be with his love at first sight.
We carefully planned our shots, using a scrap sheet of paper to determine the best angles for each scene. For instance, to capture the ending shoot, we changed the background setting of the characters depict, enhancing the long journey still ahead of both lovers.
What I feel worked well was the accurate application of each shot type, contributing effectively to the story and its message. However, I recognize that the clarity and sharpness of the shots could have been improved. Better framing and focus could have made the characters and their emotions even more distinct.
