In this task, I will be briefly explain the visual style and treatment that I have in my mind. I think I will be mostly filming at apartment house. Due to this video having a limited narrative, I will need to keep audience to understand the story better through the location, camera work, editing and sounds effect.
Camera style
These shot on the video are the typical shots that I inspiration and taken from Malaysia Ministry of Health – Anti Smoking Campaign commercial. These shots will be as listed as below,
- Full shot – The subject takes up the full frame
- Mid shot and Medium close up (Similar) – Shows some part of the subject in detail
- Close up – Certain subject takes the full frame
- Two shot – A shot of two people
- Noddy shot – A shot that refer actor listening and reacting to the subject
- Weather shot – The subject of weather. For example, sun rise.
Then, my editing style will be adjusting the brightness/contrast, hue/saturation and shadow to make this video to be more effective to the audience. Then, in order to make the video seems to fit naturally with the song, the music needs to be in time with every single screen.
As I want the background to be simple and clear so I decided the first location will be at house backyard garden. The surrounding environment will also create a similar lighting effect seen in Malaysia Ministry of Health – Anti Smoking Campaign commercial. The dark tunnel which is brightly lit by natural light in the end. Besides, the weather conditions are also a important requirement during the shooting, for example, raining day may affect the light effect and filming effect. I think I still need to have improve for my visual style but that’s the idea I have for now so I will end my short briefing here.
