Our year 12 thriller video was entitled "The Mind Plays Tricks". Featuring stunning acting performances from Emile Cole and Tom "Stackhands" Phipps, it tells the opening to an epic tale of one boy's struggle to overcome adversity and the backstabs of his friends.
When creating our story, we put a vast amount of effort into the cinematography, mise en scene, sound and editing. What we dreaded was for our masterpiece to come across as poorly planned and thrown together at the last second.
When dealing with the cinematography, we stuck with mostly static, fairly long shots. In retrospect, moving the camera around in certain shots may have made the camerawork more interesting, as without every shot feels fairly standard, and by the end of the 2 minutes this gets fairly stale.
Other than the idea that the camera should have panned/moved a lot more during the piece, other aspects of the camerawork could have been improved as well. For example, a larger mixture of shot types could have added to the emotion of the piece. 90% of the shots are mid-angle mid-range well-framed shots; very predictable. The only experimentation
