For my individual project this semester I decided to study the monologue. After watching another student’s individual experiment in which they shot a monologue, my mind drifted back to Kevin Spacey’s performance in House of Cards. These monologues are incredibly powerful as he addresses the audience through breaking the fourth wall. For my presentation I showed a clip from this…

Finally finished all my shooting and editing work. I have been shot three times for this project here is my reflection of this project. Actually, this final video is not the one I want to shoot initially, my original brief idea is based on having fixed light and showing the actor’s moving through these fixed light. Because it is so…

Throughout the second half of this semester, I decided that I wanted to get some experience focusing on the specific framing of shots whilst trying to cover a scene. I was inspired my many films, for instance ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ which have been specifically framed in a way to have action and visual emphasis situated in the center of…
