Testing the oneshot, Ali G & Ashley Cole Spoof(lighting) and inspiration






This was our initial take at our oneshot video. It was just a test to see whether the concept worked and whether we could take the pros and cons to come up with something better in our second take. On the whole i thought the thought bubble worked well however the camera angle and composition could be improved on dramatically.




This interview based scenario was mainly to play around with lighting and to create different moods. In order to do this, we had to use a 3 point lighting system. By using three separate positions, the cameraman can illuminate the shot's subject (such as a person) however desired, while also controlling (or eliminating entirely) the shading and shadows produced by direct lighting. The effect created in this interview isn't perfect but creates an interesting mood.
 












This music video by 'Two Door Cinmea Club' attracts my attention mainly due to the fixed environment and background allowing for manipulation when editing. The change in colour i think would be great to experiment when editing later on.

  1. for the one shot at the top, the angle and composition could be better and perhaps think about the framing as well.
    some music over the top would also be good, as if you are listening to what he is hearing because you can read his thoughts on the screen.

  2. i like how the speech bubbles are projected on the background. a really intuitive one shot, very intresting to watch! my only critisms would be the shadow could react more with the speech bubbles. the angle it is shot at doesnt look quite right and there is no music! other than that its good.

  3. I really like the idea for your one shot video, it's very different! However you are right in saying the angle needs improving. You have some good lighting going on and by just moving the camera it could be a great video!
