The Short Films Begin

Youtube has proved more than helpful to this project, and surely it wont stop there. This Blog will be a short one, and it will entail a brief analysis of this video

This here is a short film found on YouTube. It is created and directed by a single person, it isn't a group effort, besides the actors of course. This suggests that if one person can get this good quality and skill of video by a single effort, then three minds all gifted in unique ways, can achieve a final edit three times as good as this. Research has gone into the editing side of this  clip, however now all that needs to be undertaken to perfect a fighting scene is as follows:

Research into Conventional Camera Angles such as Steady cam, high angle to low angle, tilts also a very unique and new to film technique called the three cam set up. A blog will be posted on this but all it is in its briefest form, is three cameras set up side by side by side.

ON EACH CAMERA STARTING FROM WHAT EVER WAY YOUR ACTOR IS MOVING YOU ZOOM IN BY LENGTH OF CONVENTIONAL SHOTS 
 [ o ]                  [ o ]                 [ o ]    
LONG SHOT-MID SHOT-CLOSE UP

THIS ALLOWS YOU TO ZOOM IN WITHOUT DISTORTING THE IMAGE, IN AREAS YOU WANT CLOSER THAN OTHERS. MOST FAMOUSLY USED IN A FILM CALLED 300 DIRECTED By Zack Snyder


This is it to perfection
