Master Sequence Ideas

So for our groups Master Shot project, we decided to do a comedy based on the premise that a motorcyclist, breaks down on the side of the road, and while he is trying to fix his bike, an annoying jogger comes along and starts a meaningless conversation. The motorcyclist tries to concentrate on his bike but the jogger makes it difficult. We had some different ideas about how to show the jogger, and one of the main shots that we want to incorporate is one where we get a long shot of the motorcyclist bending down to work on his bike and on the outer part of the frame, we see the joggers legs step into focus with the motorcyclist in the background.

Another shot we wanted to do was a POV shot from the motorcyclist’s view of the jogger standing over him. There are only going to two people on screen and we’re using my motorcycle, we decided it would be easiest if I played Park (the motorcyclist) and we got a friend who is an actor to play Bran (the jogger).

Vox Pop/ Interview Reflection

So if I'm supposed to talk about our experience doing the box pops and the interview, overall I would have to say that I had a blast doing them and that they went really smoothly. for our box pops we decided to go downtown on the boardwalk there and ask around some basic questions. When we first got there we had some issues with the batteries being dead but after we walked up to a convenience store and got some new ones, everything went great. Almost everyone we asked to do an interview with agreed happily with the exception of maybe 2 camera shy people. I think we were there for maybe an hour and a half and were done. The main interview went even smoother than the box pops with no sound or battery issues. Brenda, the lady who we were interviewing, was as halarious as she was knowledgable about the boardwalk, and made the interview itself go by quick and seemless. I think it maybe took 30 or 40 minutes to set up and get everything where we wanted it to be for shooting, and ended up being an incredible experience.
