  • Great video! Could you tell me a bit more about your school project? The one consisting of only close-ups and one medium shot.

    What were all the rules of that project? Could you create the story yourself or did the professor hand out story lines? Which school did you attend?

    Thanks!

  • @mattydunsky Man, it's been years since I did that project. If I remember right though, the teacher gave us an instrumental song and we just had to go off that.

    As far as schools, I went to Saline HS, which is where I did the closeup project. I currently go to BGSU for film production.

  • @Inept77 Sweet deal. Thanks for the response!

  • thanks for the advice

  • when making a film, how do you utilize the camera (assuming you only have one) to make it seem as though there are multiple angled shots, etc?

    Do you:

    a) do the complete scene in its entirety with one camera angle (maybe, over the shoulder), and then the same complete scene again, but with a different angle?  The end result being multiple clips/scenes that you cut and past in post.

    or

    b) over the shoulder angle - say one line - move the camera - other person say their line, etc?

    Thanks

  • @Farout5150

    Do the complete scene from one angle, then do it from another. This will make the acting much more consistent when cutting back and forth in editing as opposed to having them start and stop multiple times.

    Also, if you have any lighting setup, you'll have to reset it each time you do a shot if you go with option B.

  • @Inept77

    Excellent. Thanks for the input - and for your time as well.

    Take care

  • Sid?

  • @squid262 Who?

  • @Inept77 Google "Sid skins"

  • @squid262 Ahh. I see now

  • lol whats with the french music

  • @flyinglime012 It's a good song :)

  • Do The Right Thing is  definitely one of the best films in the '90s!!

  • Do The Right Thing has a 98% on rottentomatoes, so I think most people would like it...

    A bad movie that uses Dutch angles is Battlefield Earth. In fact, every shot is a Dutch angle.

  • Have you seen Do The Right Thing? It might be just me, but that movie was crap

  • Oh god, I love YELLE!

  • Rick Mercer uses them often during his sets too.
