Three Shot Sequences


Three shot sequences are used to make take your video go from good to great. The shots go from Wide, Medium, and then to a Close up. Shot sequences are also used to show more detail in less time and an overall sense of purpose. Shot sequences make videos more interesting and fun to watch. If you only have one shot throughout your video it would be boring to watch and not interesting.

When filming you should film more than you what you need so when you go back to edit the video you could always enough. You can always go back and delete out whatever you don't need. You should always have at least two to three shot sequences.






Profile Project Progress

For our profile project, we're interviewing Ian's dad, Kenneth Kimura. We're interviewing Kenneth on how going through what he's gone through shaped him in the person he is today. He went from being a janitor to a manager of Kauai Lagoons Pro Shop. We did this project to show people to always try your best because even thought Kenneth went through a lot he still thrives and this helped him understand the true meaning of success.

We had trouble getting together to film outside of school. We were one of the last groups to finish the Production Plan, but we were one of the first people to film B-Roll and the interview and get it done.

Our group can really improve a lot. Not just improving the visuals or the quality of the video, but to actually work as a team and to learn to get along. We can also improve by compromising with each other and to not always fight on the little edits in Final Cut Pro. We can always meet in the middle and to not get caught up in all the fighting that we've done but to work it out as a group.

Our group can improve our video from good to great by putting more B-Roll and to not show the cuts in the video whenever he's answering a different question. We can also improve our video by putting our video in order because during our video he talks about going to college and then he talks about how he loves soccer.
