Final Major Project Unit: Project Update

Here's some rough shot ideas I'm working from:


Shooting with contributors:

CU’s of objects to establish location
W with subject - carefully composed shot
CU of subject

Set up objects in CU’s, with contributor blurred in background 

Pan across objects, pan and then finish in CU sharp 

EG. with John’s guitar sequence, set up all the tuning and getting ready shots, all choreographed.

CU face from front, focus on background first, then on face

Walk around the show and film to get sense of atmosphere
Film journey in car (set-up shots)
Film every aspect - setting up on his own

In Nature:

DEPRESSIVE 

waves crashing 
cliff edge (Beachy Head)
intense rainfall: droplets crashing in water, leaves battered
isolation: Beachy Head, empty shot, just cliff at bottom of frame

SERENITY

sunsets 
plants swaying CU (like Burning of the Leaves)
animals, birds, bees, nature (go to a lake - reserves)
seasonal, ‘earthy’ shots
timelapse in a field sunset
sun shining through leaves
water droplets

BALLERINA SEQUENCE(S)

WS
MS skirt spinning
MS body (all soft focus)
reverse shots and change speed
Improvised, jumping
running through street at night (London)(flash from cars to the street)
standing on edge at Beachy Head/Bearsted 
running through maze 

TIMELAPSES

Traffic on motorway at night
Shopping centers
Train stations
(frame blend and motion blur)
long exposures
