K-Film Technical Skills and Ideas

In the lead up to creating the group K-Film I have been reminding myself of some of the elements from my K-Film inspiration searches that can be utilised in my own work.

I do not want the clips to take too long to load. The viewer is likely to lose interest in the film as a whole is there is too much ‘space’ for processing. I will aim to make clips small in size.

I would like to utilise the darkened exposure and (potentially) slow mo editing within the preview clips in the K-Film.

A name/title for the preview clips visible to the user. This may help them remember what clips they have and have not seen, as the visuals may not be memorable for some.

I have established some constraints for filming major clips. These include the angle on which to film. In preparation for the test clips, I have found a camera mount that can be used on the floor and in the correct height for filming feet. I will film 30 seconds, with the audio overlaying a medium close up of feet with or without movement (from front on or the side- whatever looks better). We will all be filming on a DSLR and editing our clips in a similar fashion to create a pattern.
