Experience with the 360 Shoot

Experience with the 360 Shoot

I had a fantastic experience with the 360 shoot. I have been wanting to work in the medium for a while and this class made that dream a reality. 

As for the actual shoot, I think it was a great idea to limit each group to one shot, one minute, and two takes. I am a big believer that putting a box around people will help them be more creative. 

The camera was easy to set up and use (especially because it was one take) and the phone capturing the footage made it easy to make adjustments to the camera. 

The editing process was not to difficult to learn, and once it was all stitched together, it was like editing any other video.

Giving students access to this medium is amazing and I would suggest keeping this as one of the assignments in future classes. 

Rough Theater

What is your Rough Theater?


My Rough Theater can be seen in the style that I story-tell (in person stories and short film stories). It may not be the proper and right way. It may not follow the typical rules of a story. It may not have clear rises and falls and Acts 1 and 2. What it does have is emotion and the stories are usually able to provoke emotion other people as well. I am sure that I will study and learn the "correct" way to tell a story but I will always hang on to what I believe makes a good story, and this is where style comes from. Just like how the notes from a flute have imperfections (which makes them good and human) so will my stories.
