Video: A better Tomorrow

Source: Vimeo https://vimeo.com/109228612

This video is about a little boy that has learnt from his father and does what his father has done alone. His father has left his kids alone in this world.

Camera techniques and others.

The video maker has shot scenes of the unexpected, where in the beginning a wide shot of the little boy is standing on the sea side and a closeup of his hands picking seaweeds.

Wide shot in this film are mostly used to show where these kids stay and the surroundings around them. 

Extreme closeup has been used to show the emotion on these kids face when the little girl comes out of a dream.

The music 06:15, builds up when the watch a man has been looking for stolen by these kids father, magically brings a car in front of their eyes. The video maker then prepares to do a cartoon scene of theme in this car.

These camera techniques are some that i can maybe use to shoot my own memory video.

Daydreaming Italy: Lost in the Alps

Source: Video comes from the site Vimeo called "Daydreaming It{aly}: Lost in the Alps.

https://vimeo.com/51078732

This video is about a man that travels through the Alps where he meets strangers and other people. He did this to come out of his shell, so he explored.

It starts of with a close up view of his shoes and zoom right out to the view of the forest. The film-maker could have just filmed himself walking through the forest and filming his feet shoes while walking but instead, they had a sense to show the surroundings that his in.

From 00:00 - 00:28, there has been multiple cuts to this beginning, which goes with the music. The sound of the clock ticking makes an effect of when it changes.

Extreme close up shots have been used to capture this clock. The number 12 is in focus and the arrow in the fore ground is out of focus.

02:35 - 03:31 - The music starts to build up, which causes the video-maker to put in a variety of videos and images that consisted of close ups on shoes, mid shots of the surroundings around him and wide shots which gave a sense of the place he was travelling around.

His closeups were mainly used to show the photo above and the clock, while it ticks.

Task: Memory video fav analysis

Video: Memories of Vietnamn

Link: https://vimeo.com/99503341

About: This video is about memories and footage that has been taken in Vietnamn. It shows where a family has explored and what they have done.

Structure: Through this film it shows a variety of shots that shows the joy of their trip. The videomaker could have just filmed themselves walking around the community they were in but shows every angle of what their eyes are looking at. The music in the background brings these memories to life where in the beginning ot starts of slowly and begins to build up, causing the video maker to cut footage to the beat.

Mostly wide shot has been used to show the whereabouts and motions that has taken place. Reverse effects take place in the traffic scene which goes with the music at 01:26 and where a lady/man is smoking at 02:22.

The camera movements and techiques is somthing that i can use in my second film and will really give me that feeling of having to be keen to edit what i have.

First Memory Video

Theme: Memory

Title: Remember when we use to....

About:
Its about friends coming together and experencing what they have done when they were little kids. Spinning on the chair and playing in the rain and running up stairs.

Duration of the film is 34seconds. Through out the first half of the video, it begins with a water puddle that i filmed outside.

I mostly used midshots and closeups, because the footage shows what is important to me and the things i remember doing.

The Photo Man

Vimeo: The Photo Man

https://vimeo.com/69901302

About: 

This video is about a man that collects photos and these photos are of people that are complete strangers over the states. These photos are sold at the Markets.

Theme: 

I cant identify any theme that runs through this except Memory. Memory of people that has been bought by a complete stranger.

Structure: 

This video could have just been filmed in this mans garage and have him talk about why he has these, except the film maker shows where he keeps his stock and the place he sells it. This video shows that instead of the "Photo Man" talking, he took footage of people looking through these photos

Camera techniques/shots and other things:

This video starts of with photographs that has been taken and a voiceover of a conversation that the "Photo Man" is having with another person and then it goes into show where he stores all these photos that he has. There are shots of photographs that he holds and flicks which is a close up shot. None of the footage that has been taken is free handed, it shows a steady movement between the photos that has been shown and the market.

 

00:42: is the wide shot that shows how he looks at these photos. Everything is in focus and i think the videomaker is trying to show the viewers everything thats in storage.

01:01: shows a close up view of photographs that has been given to him. You can see that the the video maker has used a smaller f/stop which puts his hands and photos in focus and the blurry out of focus.

02:56 & 5:02: Medium shots have also been used to capture his emotions and feelings towards the people that take time to look at these photo.

Music:

The music starts to get more intense when he gets emotional and it just goes to show that he loves who he is.
