Aston's Film Studies NEA Blog

We experimented with different variants of camera shots after looking through and explaining each one. From that we created a compilation of different types of camera shots, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvcotWe3_2A

In class we watched some examples of camera transitions and studied the most intuitive ones. After we watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAH0MoAv2CI  we wrote down the types of camera transitions and then applied some in a video we created. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E1C6LeYzmc  <-- Our transition video. We used: - Invisible Cut. - Cut Away - Cross Cut - J Cut - Match Cut and a -Dissolve Match Cut.

In class we watched the Rocky Training Sequence and the Up opening scene which are montages that take place over an elongated period of time in the film, but displayed in a couple of minutes, with some cases being a couple seconds. We attempted to create something similar with a character doing something over a period of time, but condensed into a small montage using the inspiration from these examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632hVDL_N6w  <-- Rocky Montage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2bk_9T482g  <-- Up Opening Scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lmbLwvgtHE  <-- The montage we created in class.
