Lesson Plan
My Reflection
For our final project in Digital Video, we had to create a short video that could be used in our classes. I decided to continue working with the ideas that I started in 5040 and 5070 to create a short video explaining how different camera angles create different levels of meaning for the viewer.
We were to keep our videos short, under 2 minutes. My video was two minutes and seven seconds long, but I wish I had ignored that in order to expand my explanation and analysis of some of the shots, I think it’s a bit rushed. Other that that, I’m pleased with it. I showed it to my students and they really liked it, they wanted to watch it multiple times (especially the parts with my dogs). I was able to put together a wide variety of shots that showed how the camera creates meaning with eye level, low level, and high angle shots, so when my students create their own movies, they can use this knowledge to tell their own stories, or rather to show their own stories, more effectively.
