Chase Scene

I learned a lot about creativity with camera angles and shots. There was a large range of locations to choose from and many different ideas to put to use. We did close-ups that were reflections, wide shots from behind walls. We bent the rules a little bit to be creative and I'm glad we did! I learned about how to add a static effect at the end using Final Cut Pro, and how to use more than two six shot systems and more than two locations. I especially learned about adding music this time. Previously, soundtracks had been long enough to take up the whole video. But this time, there wasn't a song long enough and one that consistently kept the mood accurate as it constantly changed in the video, from creepy suspense to obvious danger. I had to put a lot of different music together, sometimes stacking them up so they flowed together better.
This factor in music and the new creative devices I used are definite things I plan on keeping  up. In my next video, it'll be essential to steady the camera better before it starts rolling. I noticed multiple places where that could have been smoother.
In this project, I worked with two actors, and therefore it was a little harder to collaborate. We got along really well and turned out a good, cooperative group, but we all had many different ideas we hoped to implement while only a few could really be used. We did a great job bouncing ideas off each other and were an extremely efficient, hard-working team. I honestly don't think I could ask for better in terms of collaboration.
