Learning reflection

Since my last learning reflection, I have been learning about filming six word stories. Six word stories are short films based off six word sentences that evolve into 6 shots. I was working in a group with three of my friends and the stories we came up with are “A hug can change someone’s day” and “Freeze, don’t move; no I, Bang”. The different shots we did consisted of changes in angles and points of view. In our first story, the first shot was of two students taking a test in a view in which the camera was pointed in the direction of their fronts. The second shot was of one of the students looking around the room and seeing if he can look at the other students paper. The third shot was of me, playing a teacher at a desk, in which I was engulfed in my computer and not paying attention. The fourth shot was also of me, but over my shoulder so that my screen could be seen along as the students in the background. The fifth shot was of one student handing his test to the other so that he could cheat off his test. At the end of that shot both students looked up in surprise and panic towards the teachers desk. The sixth shot was once again over my shoulder so that the students and myself could be seen. The story was ended with me looking up and then yelling “Stop” and giving the student a detention.I was sick during the day my group filmed the second six word story but I can imagine it went something like this. The first shot was most likely of a student at his desk from his front. The second shot was most likely a teacher handing the student a test back, once again from the front. The third shot had to have been of the test over the shoulder of the student in which the shot would reveal that the student got a very bad score on the test. The fourth shot would therefore be of the students face or whole body, looking sad. The fifth shot was most likely be of another student seeing the sad student and getting up to confront him. The sixth and final shot would be of the students hugging and the originally sad student deeming a happy face or smile.
