Here's my most recent fiction piece, done as part of an end-of-year project in my course. I was doing camerawork and editing for the project, and I managed a really healthy variety of shots to test myself! As with all projects, there's elements I'd love to go back to and improve, but overall I came out with a piece where I felt truly proud of the visuals that I created with my colleagues.
A handheld gimbal shot of our lead and director, Jake, driving down a sunny road.
A wide of Jake walking down a road, stepping over some imposed text on the road. This effect took a long, long time, but I'm so proud of it!
A wide of two characters meeting in a town park. This was after 8 hours of shooting, and we were all exhausted! All things considered, it managed to come out pretty well.
A wide of our second lead, Tyler, on the phone. The sky for this was actually white - it needed to be manually recoloured! The effect isn't perfect, but it came out really nicely.
A simple but effective transition shot for our final scene.
A gimbal tracking shot of Jake walking to the location of our final scene. The water looks like a mirror, it was impossibly still that day.
A wide of the key confrontation. I'm especially proud of the contrast between light and dark here.
A low-angle gimbal shot. Just look at that lens flare! I was on my stomach for this, lying on the rocks to get the angle perfect.
My personal favourite shot I've gotten since I've been working with video. I was floored at how perfect the composition turned out.
