This week, Seiya and me got group feedback for Ting. The problem in my part was that some of my shots ( one shot) contain too much information in it without another shot to help (did not cut to another shot). That makes the audience focus on too many things at once, so they can’t really get the story. You could try using a POV shot — like a first-person angle. The camera should capture emotion, not just run after the action. The main thing is: don’t show lots of angles in just one shot. A good example is the Lord of the Rings shot the teacher showed us in class. Also, some of my shots had no clear focus, or the focus was off, so the audience ends up looking at something meaningless.
I’ll learn from that.
This week’s class I felt like quite challenging that too much new things to learn, like “how to tell a clearly story and attractive”and how to use the five principle ”The actstructure” ‘Hero’s Journey” “storycircle” and “Five-Actstructure”, “Kishotenketsu”. These point are so important to tell a good story that need to research and Internalized within myself.
Five principle: and follow
- ”The actstructure”
- ‘Hero’s Journey”
- “storycircle” and
- “Five-Actstructure”
- “Kishotenketsu”.
Also we leand the prefessional camara langurage” rank”, and the relationship between: Story, Act, scene, shot and beat.( From Ting’s class)
After that, I spent considerable time organizing the shot and sequences. The main challenge was the excessive number of keyframe controllers between each shot, which created significant confusion for me. Then I just fix one by one until the end and reach a good sense. Just try my best to fix it.
Also during the class we should use Maya parent set to create stich’s tea party, and self study, but it is quite hard to understand for an begginer to learn parent set in Maya, so many problems just pop out. and ting forgive us and undertand our “Maya level” hahah, thanks a lot, that we can get more time to learn it and get use to do it.
