8 shot journey the task set

The task for the “8 shot journey was to create a sequence of shots. The aim was for your actor to start at a particular place and then go to another destination. For my video it was for Louis to get from a classroom where he got a phone call, and then it ended the traveller meeting a mate on a climbing frame in the park outside of college. The 8 shots would use a variety of different shots, varying from ECU to a W/S. First we had to create a storyboard of our 8 shots, knowing what we wanted each shot to look like and thinking about what shot types we wanted, also the movement of the traveller in each shot. In cinematography there is a term known as building blocks, this is the different stages of filming or producing videos. The order goes from 1 – 5.

Frame – This is a single cell of film
Shots – This is a continued strip of motion picture film
Scene – Part of the action that happens in a single location
Sequence – Number of a scenes which forms a distinct action
Movies and programmes – Entire bodies of work

So we had to create an 8 shot journey which would be made up of frames (25 frames per second) to make up each shot to create a scene which would end up being one short sequence and movie.
