Critique Reflection

  I feel like my group planned out the shots really well as we had enough time to sit down and discuss every single shot we wanted in detail during the storyboarding process itself.  According to my classmates, they seemed to have liked the complexity of the shots, especially the birds-eye shot. They also really like Alex’s killer costume (we liked that too) and also the contrast in the lighting from the beginning to end.  I feel like we could improve on the quality of the shots, learn how to get a much clearer shot in the dark, so that we don’t have a grainy shot whenever the lighting is low.  According to my classmates, maybe the acting could have been a bit more natural and the characters continuity should have stayed.  I think our strengths are that we work together well as a team and are able to thoroughly plan out what we want to do and what we can expect. But I think is out weakness is that different people had different opinions about how a shot should p...

The Camera - Shutter Speed

Image
Shutter speed is the amount of time the sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, or the amount of time the shutter of the camera is open.  Shutter speed is measured fractions of a second. The bigger the denominator, the faster the shutter speed.  Shutter speed also effects the exposure, the longer the shutter speed, the more exposure the sensor gets which results in a much brighter picture. The quicker the shutter speed, the darker the picture.  When the shutter speed is slow, the sensor is exposed to light for a long time which results in a motion blur effect. Any object that moves in a slow shutter speed becomes blurred in the direction of motion. Slow shutter speeds also capture more light, which makes the picture bright and colorful.  A faster shutter speed freezes motion instead of blurring it. The fast shutter speed is almost like taking a picture by freezing time because it has the capability to clearly capture an object in motion, especially fast moving ...

Chase Sequence

In this film I had a wonderful opportunity to work in a group of some people I knew and some I did not. We all got an opportunity to share our skills (and also show off out very bad acting skills).  We were a little behind on filming because we were waiting on our props, but that waiting period also gave us an opportunity to find locations and rehearse so that we are ready to go which gave us the push to later be on the same level as the rest of the class.  Another problem we had was that there were consistent absences and it was ever so rare that the entire group was present.  We would probably change the pace in which we worked at and also plan shots out in a much better way.
