For this week’s videos, we were invited to look into a few ideas when it came to shots – to consider that a few shots could exist within one shot, and I think I spent the time we had trying to work out how to conceptualise this thought more or less, and in turn was pushing improvisation a little more.

What came out are two long shot scenes that cut back and forth and end up trying to capture a few shots as people interract with the frame.

Upon reflection, I would say that what I’ve learnt in these little thought provoking exercise for my creative process was quite worthwhile. There is always so much to be learnt in general but I think that what I got from these videos, combined with Paul’s suggestion to consider that short clip with multiple shots in one shot.

I had this idea of the two people walking to one area panning, which is a shot I think works, but perhaps needs to be redone with a speedier pan to be completely effective, but at this stage I think that it is a nice idea to consider. Further, I toyed with the long shot we shot of a phantom car, and found it interesting to consider the two manners in which it could exist, cut mid way and into the long shot. With that I started to think about Victoria, the film that was all shot in one take, and how it functioned more effectively as a film that was in one take even though there was a cut version, I’d say here, it isn’t as necessary clearly, but it is interesting that an affect in that respect can occur.
