Specialist Study 2- Part 7 Re-acting and further research

So with the Ncloth sorted out, I then began re-acting the new audio which I was told to animate instead. Only this time, I would be acting out with the idea of picking up a cloth in the scene.

I didn't focus on shooting multiple angles this time, as I just wanted to get the performance right and from there I would figure out the strongest key poses and I would then think of an appropriate camera angle.

I had tried acting a couple of times before and though sometimes I had spoke the dialogue, I was told to instead mime the actions as some of the movements wasn't well translated and all over the place. 

During filming and finding the strongest poses for my character animation, I had recently been watching a couple of films every week and some were good some wasn't up to scratch. But the main thing was the fact that I was able to figure out some of the camera angles which I wanted for my animation. 

I kind of loved this film " Dark skies" to be honest, I know that it wasn't the greatest film out there, but it was very entertaining. Particularly with this type of film, where it's kind of a horror, thriller genre the camera really holds onto the character for a few more seconds so that we as an audience can feel the tension of the shots.

 Side effects wasn't the best film I had seen, even though the reviews had been praising it quite a lot. I think the reason why it wasn't such a great film was the fact that I had watched a few Tv series that had a similar storyline to it and I just felt that the film didn't bring anything original.

The only good bit was when the film was focused on the character below where it had certain camera angles which made it feel as this character wasn't in the right mind.

Side Effects

 A film which I had finally crossed off for my films to see "Memento". Great film and I really felt that the camera angles which they used was perfectly executed throughout the film.

Editing Video Logs (Vlogs)

As much as all of the films that I had watched I think the most helpful thing to me in figuring out the camera angles, was when I was shooting my video logs for the last few months of Uni. So, when I edit all of the videos together I have a sense or feel of how long I should focus on the shot, or whether or not if this is absolutely necessary, does it show the life of uni that I want or is it too much. Just the fact that this was a practical hands on approach really made me understand about camera angles even more.
