Above is the link for my project on sequential thinking.
The idea for the project came from a halloween event i was planning for my hall. I wanted to illustrate the intensities of fear and feelings as you ran from something you were afraid of, while also being able to demonstrate ability to frame with the camera and tell a story about running from several different perspectives.
In the clip you’ll find my attempts at first person perspective, third person perspective, still shots and breaking the fourth wall. The various methods of framing myself running away from the red balloon were explorative attempts to find out what kinds of takes worked best for achieving different results. I felt the need to both capture the movement and the intensity of fear in the pictures at the same time and that proved to be somewhat of a challenge.
I also tried to inject a sense of humour into the skit, as seen from when I break the fourth wall. In terms of the narrative I wanted to give the viewers a break from all the intensity and to include at least one scene where a lighthearted laugh could be had.
Overall, I quite enjoyed doing this project as there was a lot of room for exploration and ideation without having the issue of having to worry about how different mediums had to mesh together or come together to form a cohesive product.
