The 6 Shot System

Process of Making the Video
      Recently in e-Com we've taken it upon ourselves to make a video that includes the six shot system in it, including all of the shots. While some people for more creative ideas I chose to do something more simple. My video is just me on a laptop using all of the shots which include, wide shot, establishing shot, close up, over shoulder, median shot and extreme close up.

      The filming part was actually kind of annoying since we had to set up the camera at all different angles to make sure we had the different shots. After taking all of the videos in different shots we then went to Adobe Premier to put everything together. It was really easy to do, after placing all the videos in the correct order. From there it was easy to unlink the videos from their sound, take away the sounds and replace it.

What Was New
       Until this assignment I had ever used Adobe Premier before, it proved to be actually very simple to use. We simply dragged the videos into the program and then stated editing it with the tools provided form the program, which included shortening the video and changing the sound. I took out the sound in my video and put in a song that I hope fit the theme of my video.
       Afterwards, uploading the video to youtube, was not new, but putting it on google classroom was actually something I'd never done before and too me sometime to figure out.

What Could've Been Done Better
       I admit that during filming I failed to follow the 180 rule at the end of the video. If I ever am to try this again I will be sure to fix that mistake. Besides that I didn't really like where I had sat during the video. Overall I think I did a decent job.
      We also got feedback of our work from our classmates. Some of the feedback I got was mostly about how the camera was shaky during one of the shots and that the music I chose didn't much fit what I had been doing in the video.

Camera Shots

      

      In e-Communication we all officially entered the video part of the course, which has so far been very fun, with our first assignment being to take pictures sing the different types of shots. The shots that we've recently been learning include, wide-shot, median shot, extreme wide-shot, close-up, extreme close-up, and over-the-shoulder. After choosing a partner, we took pictures using these types of shots. 

       The first shot taken above is a extreme-wide shot of the front of our school. It shows the complete front of the main entrance to the school.

       The shot shown above is known as 'over-the-shoulder. Which, quite literally, is just a shot of over the shoulder of someone.

      This shot, here, is called a 'median' shot. It shows the complete body of a person. 

The shot here is a 'close-up' shot. A close-up shot is one of a person usually shoulders up.

Here is a regular 'wide-shot' of school hallway.

In this photo is shows nothing more than the persons face, which s known as an 'extreme close-up' shot. 

So far that is what we've done in this new class. It's been pretty fun so far and I look forward to what we will be doing in the near future.
