In this week’s workshop, we were able to share our briefs for our upcoming assignment. The assignment is a 2-minute comprised video that follows a storyline and is symmetrically balanced. I spent time with my friend Lucy, and we shared our ideas together. From my own feedback I learnt how I needed to focus more on the narrative aspect of my brief as it didn’t have a backstory that gives audiences a reason to know why the story is taking place. Besides the brief, we investigated visualising stories and looked at album cover art and how they impact music listeners to visualise the songs on the album into a connected cover art. We also looked at the storyboards of ‘Get Out’ and ‘Batman: The Dark Knight’ to display how storyboarding helps flow the narrative of the story and conveys and image on how to compose and arrange scenes. Working in class, we went out to film with the Sony Fx3 cameras to create a long take. I worked with Lucy and my friend Lyn. Lyn was our actor, I directed, and Lucy filmed. This was helpful for us to challenge skills in filmmaking and following instructions whilst getting familiar with the camera. We created a little sequence that followed Lyn purchasing a drink from the vending machine. I learnt the importance of narrative in my storytelling and how it plays an important role in symmetrical film to flow sequences.
