Connect 4

We were set a small task today which proved useful but sounds a bit silly! We were tasked to film a game of Connect 4 in order to think about sequences.

Whilst planning a shoot, we have discussed planning specific shots that we wish to see in the edit. This of course helps to make the shoot more efficient, ensuring that you don't forget to get footage but also that you don't get too much footage.

However we started to talk about piecing these shots together and building stories in individual scenes. Each scene needs to act as a micro film, introducing characters, narrative and any conflict. This is what we were essentially trying to do with Connect 4, bring in the scene, establish tension and or conflict and then the conclusion of a win or defeat. I am going to hopefully edit the piece together this week and should be posting it on here soon.
