ENT 1190 Introduction to Video and Film Production
A City Tech OpenLab Course Site
The OpenLab is an open-source, digital platform designed to support teaching and learning at City Tech (New York City College of Technology), and to promote student and faculty engagement in the intellectual and social life of the college community.
This is for Angela’s individual project.
For my project I will be shooting a short of a man writing a rap. In this short you will see man in his bedroom working on a song but has serval interruptions from his family and dog. HE decides to take a walk, go for a skateboard ride and a smoke to clear his head. He goes back to his home and end finishes the rap and ends by him rapping the song.
There will be a plenty of actions. I like that this will be visual.
I feel like a shoot like this I could do a lot of close up, contra zoom, long shots, and etc. I also feel like the emotion of frustration of the story line will be felt
I will be using a nikon d5550 to shot, im relying on the audio from the camera for the sound. I will be shooting off campus in Long island, using friends and family as my talent. I will be using avivd to edit.
Well planned. The audio can be tricky, but as long as it is decent, it is fine for this project.
Day 1 shooting starts on monday, im hoping to shoot all of it on monday and edit the final product on tuesday and wednesday
Im working on a new script because my actor has to travel and we couldnt finish filming. I cant use the footage I have because it will cause continuity issues. Im hoping to find a new actor and start filming again by friday
So im finishing my shoot day below is my shot list. I will be editing with imovie. The advantage of working alone is that i get to work on my own time, and let my creativity show . the disadvantage is not having help to shoot, holding a camera for long can get tiring. One of the legs on my tripod is stuck so its making it difficult to capture the perfect pan and tilt shots. below is my shot list Shot list
