week 5

This week first we watched a small part of a film, and discussed it well. We were clapping and counting the shots, so it's easier to understand how it differs depending on what is being shot. We all noticed that the longest shot can last even 30 seconds, and the shortest one just 1 sec. and it's all differs; for example, in action movie the shots don't last long, and the angles are always changing. That all plays roll in making the audience feel the speed and extreme.

Also we discussed again some problems that may occure, such as audio issues, for instance. The teacher gave us some advice about that. Well, in my opinion it's cool that we study that stuff, that's very important, but i think we repeat this topic every class, instead of studying something else.

The last 2 hours we spent discussing our projects. The Power Point slides helped us understand in which way we should present our storyboard, what should be included to the work. Now i know that location, time and even costumes and make-up, all matters if that's important in the shot. All the props also should be on the list.

I don't know what sound effect we are going to use with Oksana, but that's cool that we can add some music to our films. ;)
