Method of Working (part 11)

I am starting to come to the idea that I prefer Anonioni’s way of shooting, such as I construct each shot individually, with a different coverage, and each shot is artistic in its own way. After I directed a scene (Refer to blog post: Epiphanies Week 5) I like the idea of challenging myself and having the creative freedom to create a new coverage for each shot. This way I could see how it will all come together and how each shot will tie in with the next to create a greater impact on the audience. I could have shot the scene from the beginning to the end with three different camera locations, however I chose to have each shot in a new location, almost editing with the camera. This way it allows for a broader range of shots, and less constraints. You can really get involved with the camera, and be the camera yourself, and think about the endless possibilities of where the right shot will be taken from. This is exciting, and I found that when you realise you have the right shot, it encourages you to do the rest at a higher standard. At the moment, at about a third of the way into my Method of working I am surprised at how I have come to terms with the different types of coverage, and come to one that I prefer over the others. This is exciting and inspires me to continue on this path and see if I get as much out of it as I have done so far.
