Lift 1a/b

This first 15 seconds of the clip show an idea where we where trying to tell a story of conflict that could be altered or told without sound and only using certain camera angles. The story we chose was fairly simple and involved a student in a hurry trying to catch a lift to get to class, however as other students came out of the lift his books were knocked out of his hands and onto the floor, he misses the lift and has to take the stairs. The first 15 seconds show a first take and the timing between the entry and exit of the lift was off due to poor communication among the team. The second take improves this timing however still take a little longer than intended and it is still a little bit uncertain of what is actually going on in the scene.

Due to time constraints in the class we were unable to get another take where I believe we could have further improved on the time, the sense of urgency for the student, and the ultimate frustration of missing the lift. It was however a fun exercise to run to see how quickly and well we can work as a team given little time to think of and execute an idea, showing how everyone needs to be on the same page to get the intended message of a scene correct.
