STUDIO BRIEF - INSTRUCT

Before I moved onto filming my final video I wanted to take another closer look at another ‘How to’ video so that I could get an idea about some of the shots used in videos. The one that really interests me is just the simple shot of the person being in the centre of the camera as they go through what they’re doing on camera and this then works well with what I’m going to be doing in my video. There are a lot of other interesting camera angles in this one as well; such as the shot where the person in it is going down the stairs. I really love the way she has filmed this scene where it has one angle of her making her way down looking from above her, and the cuts to the shot from the bottom of the stairs looking up at her as she walks down. This is a kind of time lapse shot that I can incorporate into my video as well, and it the type of shot which I want to look at when I’m shooting the scene where I’m getting ready and dressed.

Even though quite a lot of this video isn't necessary to what I am going to be doing it has been excellent to look at to see what I could include in my own video and what also doesn't work in the video so I know not to include it. To begin with the start of hers is quite labored and doesn't work when she reaches out to turn the alarm off; this is due to the fact that it looks staged and fake. Another part that I don't like is the part where she is putting her make up on, this is the part that takes the longest and I will either speed this up further in mine or I will create another time lapse.
