This link here is the final clip that I will be filming for my research assignment based off the long shot in relation to performance. The video depicts my friend Tess, in a state of boredom who stands, picks up her piano accordion and begins to play it.

The whole point of this project was to convey the performance whilst utilising long shots to portray a sense of emotion oozing from within my subject. I think that in this clip I have portrayed that. I was able capture the essence of Tess’ performative abilities whilst also covering it in a way that I sourced from the films that inspire me (save for the part where Tess stands up from the couch and walks to the desk with the lamp, I think that shot sucks).

The thing that I think differentiates this piece of work from my other shoots is the equipment used and the amount of effort and thought that I put into it. I think it really shows. I used a professional movie camera to film this (forgive me, i’ve forgotten what it is called but its the smaller version of the cameras that we use in class). All in all, i’ve really enjoyed filming all of the clips for this project. A fun and thought provoking studio indeed.
