ECopeland 2 6shotsequence HR1





In this two paragraph sequence I learned how not to do jump cuts. I also learned how to transition cuts to make it go from lone six shot sequence into the next six shot sequence. I also am learning to memorize the short cut keys and become more familiar with them. Another thing I learned was how to use the arrow keys to make two separate videos line up exactly. What I will apply to my next video is being able to not do jump cuts, and to hold the camera still so it’s not shaky. Collaboration is when you have to talk with other people to figure something out. Collaboration is important in a class like this because if you don't talk to the other person then they wont know what to film and you won't know what to do. These are the things I learned in the two six shot sequences.

My Personality Test

       The Myers-Briggs test is a test that shows what kind of personality you have. The test told me i was an ESFJ. That means i am warmhearted, and cooperative. It also means i work for something to be accomplished and for it to be on time. i also appreciate who someone is and what they contribute. The famous person i am life is George Washington. Also Marilyn Monroe 
       I think the test described me fairly well. It was right about how i work to get something done and on time also how i like to work with other people to complete something. I also accept people for who they are. however i don't think i notice things other people nee in their everyday lives.
       The was my personality works in a group setting is to help people get the project done on time and get it done right. What happens when role i need to fill matches up well with your personality type is the project we are working on comes out really well because me and that other persons personality type match up  very well and when it doesn't i just work my best to make the project still come out well.

In this project we had to video someones hobby using the 6 shot sequence. The 6 shot sequence is the sequence of shots that are the mail shots used in filming anything. The 6 shots are: extra close up (xcu), close up (cu), over the shoulder (ots), close up (cu), medium, wide, and extra wide. Extra close up is so close you can only tell what that person is doing. In a close up you can see what the person is doing and what they are doing it with. In an over the shoulder you see what the person is doing over their shoulder. In a medium shot you can see all of what they are doing and where they are from their waist up. In a wide shot you can see what the person is doing and most of where they are. In an extra wide shot you can see all of what they are doing and all of where they are. I learned what all the 6 shots are and how to use them. I also learned that you can have 2 wide or extra wide shots in a row. I also am learning to be more comfortable in final cut pro. In my next project i hope to apply everything that i learned from the 6 shot sequence.
