Originality and Creativity



The clips shown above are the B-roll footage I took, I have shown my skills in pan and tilt. I used these skills for the B-roll because it is more interesting than just a boring 5 second long video that is not moving at all but pan and tilt give it that effect of something new or interesting. In this case, audio besides music or narration won't be necessary because the object that is being filmed doesn't produce sound at all. I also used a tripod for stability because nobody wants to see unstable, unprofessional shots.

I didn't find a lot of changes during the shooting as me and my group have all the supplies and equipment need for the shoot but the only issue was that the room that the videos that were recorded in was very small so sometimes shoes were accidentally captured while recording. This can be improved by recording some place else.

During the shooting, I have shown my skills in filming when I used the following skills: Medium shot, pan and tilt. I have shown these following skills in my A-roll and B-roll footage. For my A-roll, I only just the medium shot because it is such a useful shot when it comes to interviews as it shows enough of the target we are filming(basically the person we interviewed)to engage the audience and also it doesn't the target too big or too small and this is proved by the A-roll footage that can be found above. For my B-roll, I have used the pan and tilt shot because even though they are very basic, they seem very interesting to most audience and it also captures the attention of the audience. The pan and tilt also are quite interesting to edit since it is a very basic skill and I think it is possible and not that challenging to coat it with special editing and special effects.

Overall, if  I had the chance to change anything during the filming I would maybe think of more ways to film. For example, a wide shot makes great B-roll as you capture so much background and this is even better if the device used to captured these types of footage captures it in high equality. Also the blur effect is pretty interesting as it immediately captures the audience's attention as they follow the blur effect to another object. A-roll wouldn't be needed to change as there aren't a lot of ways to make an interview very eye catching so maybe staying with the medium shot is the best. In the end, I would improve by using different methods of filming and maybe try to use light to my advantage like room lighting and a tool called a reflector.
