"8 Shot Journey"

This is basically a brief overview of all my shots throughout my “8 Shot Journey”. My first shot is the traveller is sitting on a chair in a classroom and gets a phone call. After being on the phone he gets up and walks to the bin on his left to put something in it. This is then the edit point that will cut this shot to the next. The shot type on this shot is a MCU, this is so that you can see the person with decent detail, seeing what he is doing, and also a good amount of background included so people know where he is. The second shot is a CU of the bin and the traveller putting his rubbish in the bin. This again is the edit point, I chose this shot type so there’s a variety of shots. Also why I chose this shot type is because it suites the detail. You would want a wide shot of someone putting rubbish in the bin because you wouldn’t know what they were doing. This way you get good detail and information of what he is doing. The third shot is an O/S, this shot is the traveller opening the classroom door and turning left. You don’t see much in this shot, where is he going people are thinking? The forth shot is the traveller going down a long corridor then turning left at the end of a corridor. This shot type is a L/S. So you get the impression that the traveller is going somewhere quite a way away. The fifth shot is a low angled M/S, in this shot all you see is the feet of the traveller. He is on the way outside as you see him going through a fire exit. In the sixth shot you finally see the traveller outside, like all the shots before the traveller is walking, this suggests a slow tempo journey. I’ve used the depth in this shot using a bike wheels in the foreground and then the traveller in the mid ground and then in the back ground the building. The seventh shot has the traveller running up the steps, this shows a change in tempo of the journey, is he late? This shot is a W/S so you get a good amount of detail of where he is. The final shot is again the traveller running, he’s meeting a mate on a playground and he was a little late. This is again a wide shot so you can see the whole detail of the area of the shot.

If I were to do this again I would defiantly shorten the last shot as it goes on for some time. Other than that I think that my “8 shot journey” is fairly good. It may be a bit long but that shows a slow tempo to the “8 shot journey”.
