Getting Creative

Getting creative with your video camera is a major thing in making a video from boring to interesting. Many Vedeographers forget to be creative and just simply shoot.Before you start shooting take a couple minutes to be creative and think about how to improve your video.Instead of shooting from the same level the whole video try to get up high or place the camera on the ground and get down low. Most people would just stand were they are and shoot to be comfortable but to have a good video you may have to get up close to the subject.Dont just shoot a tight shot,go super tight.It will improve the video by shooting from the right perspective for example if you are filming a toddler shoot from a low perspective. Most videos are shot from tripod or eye level which makes it boring. I think this was an interesting article because it reminded me that everytime i shoot i should think first before shooting and try to make it ore interesting. One thing that i didnt like about the article was that the person kept mentioning about a tripod and how to be creative with a tripod but what if you dont have a tripod? Overall i think this was a helpfull article.

Video Sequencing

sequencing is one of the main points of all video story telling.Sequences compress time.Proper sequencing gives the editor a better way to tell the story by using wide,medium and tight shots.Sequencing helps compress time in a video.For example something that would take 3 minutes in real life we would not show that in a video,we would only show a short clip of it.Anticipating the action is key in video and knowing were to be at the right time.Make sure to shoot a variety of shoots.weight your shots to the tight and super tight end of the shooting spectrum

Gas station collage

I choose to do my photo essay on the Esso gas station at the corner of Kipling and Horner. This is a location i drive by and walk by every single day to get to school. I was also interested in the gas station because I started drag racing during the summer and I became very interested in cars. Being at the Esso gas station i saw that there is a varitey of things people go to a gas station for. Its not just for gas. People would go into the station to grab a coffee or buy some snacks or even get a car wash. I think the Esso gas station is a location that is used daily by people of the lakeshore community.
