This is my mini project video for the first project in media studies.
Members: Bagas and Bagus
Extreme long shot/static:
This long shot is used to show the subjects loneliness in the midst of a mess, emphasising the feeling of further isolation, increases the gloomy vibe.e
Over the shoulder/boom:
Emphasises more on what the subject is currently doing, the slow boom creates the effect of interest and suspense, what is the subject reading.
Medium/static:
Focuses on the subject's expression, how he focuses on finishing the chapters of the book in a rush, the look of uneasiness on his face.
Long shot/static:
Focuses back on the loneliness of the subject, as the viewers somewhat have a feeling and the vibe of what is happening.
Extreme long shot/Static:
Once again, another extreme long shot to further suggest the loneliness of the subject.
Long shot/static (clock):
Emphasises that time is ticking and eventually everything would be owned by time.
Medium/over the shoulder/static:
This is used to zap the viewer's attention back to the book.
Medium Shot:
To bring back the viewers attention to the subjects emotions and expressions, the second medium shot is used to create an effect of mystriousness and uneasiness once more to the viewers.
High angle/static:
Straightforward, focuses back on the book, but this time, emphasizing the closing of the book. Which indicates the ending of a chapter.
Medium shot/static:
Showing the subjects true emotions and the contemplation, to clarify truly the subjects uneasiness.
Extreme long shot/static:
To show the characters packing his bags to show that he is,”packing up the essentials” The messy room in frame shows the things he will leave behind what he can’t pick up with him anymore.
Tracking/medium shot:
This short duration of a frame also kind of e=shows the characters emotion as he is bowing down, showing signs of further contemplation.
Long shot/ static:
The most important shot of the video, shows the subject walking slowly to the door. Opens the door but looks forward, indicating that he is looking into a,”new chapter”, but looks back again to once again think about the past. After the light cuts off, the smack of the door indicates, “the closing of the chapter”
The true meaning of this project is showing how we experience a lot of things and make different memories (the messy room), the closing of the book indicates the closing of the chapter while the constant contemplation is depicted by the subject looking back into the room and looking forward. The closed doors means that a chapter is closed. Not to be touched once more.
We chose static shots to emphasize the uneasiness and gloominess. That it is calm. The song, “No Surprises” by the band Radiohead adds the sad and gloomy vibe.
Reflection: I was quite pressured by the time limit given by mr Nick to complete this mini project which is within the session. The idea of this project was to display Bagus siting by himself in the classroom, trying to develop a lonely atmosphere. The camera shots used were mostly long shots, this is because we wanted to display the lone figure he is in the middle of the scene. At first I thought this was going to be stable but looking back at the shots the camera was very shaky. Thus I used capcut's feature which is to stabalize the scenes. The result wasn't that satisfying, but It was better. To decide on the color grading I searched up some videos on depressing videos to get the overall colors which are mostly grey and black.
