In today's class, we did group work so we could all share opinions on the clip we watched as a class. Then we came up with our own conclusions on each clip.
Dare to thrill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=nYpjHCwRO6Q(Links to an external site.) One of the strengths was the very smooth tracking shots and overall camera movements. One of the weaknesses is that their sound quality was pretty bad, and the dialogue of the characters was hard to hear. After seeing this clip, I will make sure the ending is more conclusive and the storyline is understandable. Also, make sure the background music is low enough to hear the actors speak.
The Blue boar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvMH-1XdR9c(Links to an external site.) One of the strengths is the audio quality and the color of the film. The emphasis on the close-ups were good at showing emotions. One weakness is the storyline since at the end a blue board appeared which didn't really tie to the film. A takeaway I could get from this clip is that I to maybe do a voiceover of the clips instead of recording the raw sound.
White Coat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=dvAsmo32uo0(Links to an externalli site.)One strength of this clip was that, although there were no lines for the actors, the point got across because of the shots. Another is the blue lighting, and the audio was good at showing emotions. I think, although the lighting was good, it was a bit too dark, and I think there should have been a spotlight on places where the audience needed to focus. One takeaway is that dialogue shouldn't be the main way of story telling and instead, the video elements should be.
One strength is the close-up shots and the camera work, which made us feel like we were part of the movie. One weakness is that the sound is too low, and the sound effects are too loud. There were also not enough sounds, and the camera quality was a bit poor. The title was too long and awkward when it appeared in the middle of the clip. One takeaway is that there should be some kind of background sound because everything was completely silent.
One strength is that the transition of the ball being kicked into the camera and then a different character comes on. I liked how the transitions were on beat with the music. One weakness is the close-up shot at the end because it doesn't really add any context to the film. One takeaway is that I should choose background audio that follows along with the context of the film.
One strength is that there is a good use of jump cuts, and the music matches well with the clip. One weakness is that the audio is a bit echoey; also, there was a poor use of costume since during the flashbacks she didn't change clothes then. One takeaway is that I could use flashbacks during my clip to show past events to add more context to the film. Links to an external site.
