In this task, we worked in groups of three on a “stalker” theme.
Each member had a role:
- Stalker
- Victim
- Cameraman
We used the shot sizes learned in class to film the scene. After filming, we edited the video by labeling each shot size with text and completed the final video.
Zach King：3 movies
1. “What really happens when you charge your phone…”
Reason for selection:
I chose this video
because the world-building is very clear, and the character’s
purpose and actions are easy to understand and follow.
Art Direction:
The video presents a
miniature world where the character appears to move into a
small-scale environment.
Character Design:
The character behaves
like a repair worker who carries a large charger to charge a
phone, with actions focused on “repairing” and “charging” the
device.
Visual Effects:
Objects appear much
larger due to the tiny scale of the character. Everyday items,
such as a pencil used as a bridge, are shown in a way that
emphasizes the character’s small size.
2. “Swipe to the best”
Reason for selection:
I chose this video
because it uses the viewer’s finger as the main interaction to
control and move elements in the video. It feels visually
interactive and provides a fresh, experiential viewing
experience.
Art Direction:
The viewer uses their
finger to interact with objects in the video in sync with the
music, creating an interactive experience.
Character Design:
The character performs
everyday activities such as brushing teeth, changing clothes,
and cleaning.
Visual Effects:
The video reacts to the
viewer’s finger movements, making objects and characters move
as if the viewer is directly controlling them, creating an
immersive and interactive illusion.
3. “How Did He Escape This Prison Cell?”
Reason for selection:
I chose this video
because it presents a clear storyline and character, and it is
interesting to see how events are structured to develop the
narrative.
Art Direction:
The story shows a
character who is trapped in a prison cell and uses paint to
escape.
Character Design:
The character is
imprisoned and uses chalk to create paint and break through
the wall. This highlights the character’s creativity and
problem-solving ability.
Visual Effects:
Chalk drawings of
paint buckets transform into real objects, and when paint is
thrown on the wall, it turns into a hole. However, when a
police officer touches the hole, it turns back into paint.
Eventually, the character escapes. The use of visual illusions
and composition makes the video highly engaging and visually
striking.
