In a camera workshop with Fergus we were challenged to make a story about someone approaching a chair. We were told to make it interesting by using several different shots.
Coming up with an idea on the spot was easier than I thought it would be, but while editing i realized there were several shots that I wish I had. I managed to solve the problem in a way by cutting some of the clips in half, speeding/slowing the duration and zooming in a bit to make 1 clip look like 2.

I really liked this workshop as it was both fun and challenging. It was nice to film something of our own and "forced" to be creative. It was also interesting to see how a lot of different shots and some music can make even something as boring as a chair becomming something interesting to watch.
The film was quite fun to edit, and I got to try out a lot of different stuff Fergus has been showing us in the editing workshops we've been having.
nice work! An epic chair film! Good detailed coverage. Can you find a similar piece of detailed coverage like that in a film already? be good to see a comparison. Nice work, well done.
ReplyDeleteHappy you liked it!
ReplyDeleteAfter looking i found a scene in Disney's Big -hero 6 that's very similar to what i made with The Chair:
The clip starts at 0:14 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fva1Qa-WS_A.
I can't recall watching a film (not animated) with similar coverage in the scene (both music and short clips), but you have the opening of Orange Is The New Black which is somewhat similar considering they also cut in sync with the music.

I would say similar coverage in terms of using several short clips (not necessarily with music) would be in typical action scenes where you have a lot of fast cuts between the characters movements.
One example could be the car fight scene in Deadpool.
