A to B six shot sequence


I learned that when you work in a group and don't film extra clips for no reason, editing is 1000x easier. It is that way because the editing with this form of filing practically gives you the edited clips. Plus when you have a group who sorts through the clips before sending them...(thank you) all the clips you need are there. When we do the next project i might try to use the A to B six shot sequence because it is quick and easy to show two Activities in under a minute without confusing the viewer. Plus with this type of filming it won't take forever to edit, but that is the type of filming i like where it shows everything. I like the journey not the destination. But it is better because no one but me wants to sit there and watch every second. Collaboration is working with others to get something done. It applied here because everyone had a job to do and when you do it that way, you get things done a lot quicker. My group was awesome with that because EVERYONE was doing their job and we all contributed to getting this done. Granted i kinda goofed and forgot my clothes but we got it done with no problem. As for acting... i don't want to do that again. I love being the camera man, its just so fun to set up the shots and move the camera. Hopefully my next group will let me be it.

Personality type

My type is ESFP. We are very friendly and care about relationships. We try to relate to anyone even if its just something small. We are very charming and are playful and have a very good sense of humor. We like to be the life of the party and make everyone want to join and we strive to make everyone have fun. Some of the most famous ESFP people are Elvis Presley, "magic" Johnson, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Judy Garland, and Paul McCartney.

I think it is spot on with how it describes me. It says that we don't like deadlines, which i don't and says tat we like company which i do. i still don't understand why i am this way but i am. i kinda helped with understanding the fact that its normal to be the way i am.

I tend to be a the one who deals with others
and how they feel. And that makes sense because ESFP people like to be with other people. Its good because if you have all of the personality types. If you don't all the people will want to have the same job/role. Since i like to be with other people and i am an Extrovert i ask people "how are they doing" and say "Hi" but they are an introvert and they just kinda look at me funny like "Why are you talking to me?" but there have been some times where they are the complete opposite of me and I'm friends with them but then there are just those people who i don't like and its just because of the way they act. Like people who act like they are better than others and don't treat people fairly, those are the people i don't get along with. That might be a personality trait, if so thats the trait i hate.

The Six Shot Sequence


The six shot sequence is an interesting way of filming. The different shots are XCU: Extra close up, OTS: Over the shoulder, CU: Close up, MS: Medium shot, WS: Wide shot, XWS: Extra wide shot. I learned that making videos are extremely fun and easy with the six shot sequence. I loved filming and acting was super fun and funny.The editing was not hard at all considering the shots are very easy and i learned that using the arrow keys can help me get to the beginning frame of the shot. For future projects i might use the six shot sequence because it is easy and quick. I might also not film little pointless clips because when i filmed those clips it made me have to search for the actual clips making it harder to edit than it should have been.
