6 Shot Sequence



        The 6 shots in the 6 Shot Sequence are Extra Close Up (XCU), it is a brief close up of the hands. The second one is Over the Shoulder (OTS), shows what the person is doing. The third shot is a Close Up (CU), it answers the question- "Who is it?". The fourth one is the Medium Shot (MS), shows what the person is doing from the hips and above. The fifth shot is called the Wide Shot (WS), it shows what the person is doing, but not the entire scene. The sixth shot is called the Extra Wide Shot (XWS), it sets the scene.
         There are a lot of things that I have learned from the 6 Shot Sequence. The first thing I learned is that sequencing can compress time by compressing action. I also learned that wide shots should not go back to back, otherwise it is called a jump cut. The last thing I learned was that for every action there should be a reaction. I will apply the saying that for every action there is a reaction to my next project. I will also make sure that my wide shots don't go back to back otherwise it will make a jump cut.

Highlight Video

          To start off my project I used the program Final Cut Pro. Some of the tools we used were the i and o button on the keyboard which helped me input and output the videos on my timeline. I also the Command T button to fade out my video and music. To download the music I had to pick 5 videos and from that I used Command C and copied the link onto a website and then I used Command V and pasted it. In Final Cut Pro I also used the transition slides. I chose this particular hobby because I enjoy music and bands and I thought this would be the perfect mix. This is important to me because I love music inside and outside of this school and I thought it would be perfect to add my favorite band to it so I can show my love for music.
