Blog 4: Transitions

 

Welcome back everyone!!! Today I'm excited to show you some video transitions that helped me tie my scenes together along with sharing a bit of my recording experience. Our theme for today is Disney's Princess Housewife!!!

Fade

 

I had a lot of fun recording this video, in fact there was a lot of laughs and bloopers during this scene! To set the tone for the movie, I started with a Disney-inspired intro and followed by a fade-to-black transition to hint the opening of the first scene. While shooting, I had to re-shoot multiple times to get the perfect angle and ensure every key detail was captured. Most importantly, I did a sound check after each take to make sure that the audio met the quality standard.


Cut


By far, this has been one of my greatest film experience ever, especially since I got to work with my close friends on this group project (from last year). In the first scene, in order to capture Sleeping Beauty's wake-up moment, I had to position the camera at a right downward angle. I couldn't stop laughing when she opened her eyes, and we figured that it would be hilarious to keep this scene. Jumping into the next shot, I had to stand on the stairs and angle the camera down to capture both Cinderella's back and Sleeping Beauty's reactions. Of course, I ended up tripping down the stairs because I was so focused on getting the shot!!!


Dissolve

 
As the cameraman, I didn't expect my friends to get so "into" their acting. It was a SURPRISING and HILARIOUS experience! Filming the fight scene had me dying inside from laughter as I also tried to keep up with them while they moved around. I had to constantly adjusting to kep them centered in the frame. I might not have been the perfect cameraman, but being able to capture all these moments felt like a huge success of mine!!
