Firstly, I start the video with an
extreme close up on Riki’s (the person in the video) shoes and him putting them
on. After this I continue the use of extreme close up by watching him leave the
room. This is done to show of the theme of the video being depressing and watch
him travel as he reflects on his life. After the shot of him leaving the room I
use a establishing shot of the stairs so we have a top down view of him
leaving. We then have a medium shot of him leaving the house and entering
outside. I then use another establishing shot of the park in rectory to show a
change of location. We use more close up shots on the shoes and on the facial
expression and the some long shots of him. Moreover, we use an P.O.V shot of
him going up the hill and finally end it with a establishing shot.

Jack Coursework checklist: All up-to-date – well done! Statement of Intent final draft: Will send now. Filming latest: Filmed it all but on two different cameras (one a GoPro) and it looks very different across the two. Need to re-shoot half the scenes with the other camera so it is visually consistent. Will re-shoot this weekend to complete the filming process (barring re-shoots or additional requirements).
