     In Ecomm,we made a point A to point B video. This taught us about camera positioning, shots, and angles. The video was about escaping detention. I was the main actress in the video.

   Our video was about running away from a teacher while trying to escape the school. We start off in detention where I realize the teacher isn't watching me. I sneak out of the classroom and roll down the hall. Then I sprint towards the doors only to find a teacher turn the corner. She began to chase me and I run away.I sprint down the hall where a student slides across the floor as an obstacle. I get back up and resume running away from the teacher. I lose the teacher in the cafeteria and run out the front entrance.

     Some of the actions we had were running, sliding, and rolling.We did wide shots, close up shots, and medium shots.

    Working on the video was tough because there was a lot of mistakes we made. The stand for our camera wasn't working so we had to replace it and hide it in one of our camera shots. We also had problems with people in the hall walking in front of our shots and we had to retake because out was too long or we weren't ready to record.

    There were a few things we could've fixed in the video. We needed to keep the student who slid in the shot as I was running up and down the hall. We also needed to fix the shot when the camera was fixed on the teacher running down the hall. We couldn't move the camera moving fast enough.

     Otherwise, everything else went really well and we decided to do something silly at the end to celebrate. When I jumped of the edge, I threw my hands up in the air and screamed, the audio for that we took out, but we kept the footage which is still found at the end of the video.

Challenge 1





In Video, we just did our first challenge. The challenge was to make a video with the 6 shot system in it. We did Extreme wide shots, medium shots, close up hand shots, over the shoulder shots, close up shots, and extreme close up shots. It was very fun but challenging.

We had to learn how to use a camera stand and we used our school iPads to record. I had IPad 8. We used our school IDs to check them out like you would with a library book.

Next we had to set up and record. It was hard because some people walked in front of the shots and we had to restart. We also messed up or we had to do t the next day and forgot to wear the same clothes and had to record all over again. Thankfully we had our planning sheet so we didn’t forget what we had to do.

After we got our parts for the video, we edited them on the computer. We added music, text, and learn to cut out parts we didn’t need. That part was difficult to me, but really cool since I got to see how to edit a video. Hopefully next time it will be easier since I know what to do now.
