Good Morning, fellow students of Mr. Rivers class. We started off the class with Mr. Rivers invited us into the class with a “good morning”. We all sat down and opened up our Chromebooks to begin class. Mr. Rivers strutted toward the front of the classroom and announced to the class to “Get to Work”. As a good student we immediately got to work. For today’s class we needed to film a scene inside the classroom using all the students. First shot we took was Luke Hunczak throwing Nick and I into the classroom. Following that we enhanced the film by using a close up of Mr. Rivers face and also Luke’s face to create a more dramatic scene. The action of close up is used by directors to show emotions of the specific character. After we made a scene were Luke bullies Mr. Rivers to create a comedic relief of how a student look alike rules a teacher. After scene was Chris Vac stepped up to Luke and Luke slapped him in the face. We filmed this scene 3 times to get as many angles of the scene. First we filmed Luke smacking Vac from behind his shoulder then we filmed it up close to his face, and after we filmed a far away shot. It is better for editing purposes and it creates a smoother transition between scenes. Directors use multiple cameras to enhance the filming so it it easier to edit when it is all done. This creates a superiority of comedy because when someone gets hurt it is funny to watch them get hurt. This is used multiple times in Hollywood to enhance the viewers preference. To wrap up the class we cleaned everything up and looked over the film and closed up the camera. A good days of work.
