Establishing a Style

The feedback from the animatic was that there was too much shot-reverse shot which doesn't prove much in the way of skills and is ultimately just visually dull. I tried on the shoot to balance this by other shots with interesting camera movement but there wasn't nearly enough so I had to start thinking about what I could do in post production to resolve this.


I talked to a couple of people and an idea emmerged to impose sketchy drawings of say thought bubbles and arrows and the like over some of the shots which would better convey infomation to the audience if I needed to condense my work later on. Something along these lines:

This could be used in the kissing scene where the shots we have actually aren't that strong so this would draw attention and emhasis to the action

Another idea I had was punctuating some moments by inserting a poorly taken photograph at the party which would envelop properly the mood of the evening. It's hard to explain but I hope to experiment with both this week and post my results.
