BSA234 (Cinematography) Week 7 : Sequence Blocking

Over the easter weekend we did some camera tests on location to get our blocking and camera movement right.

The first sequence we did was Kiarne's, and it's turned into something quite ambitious. Most of his sequence will be one shot - the second shot after the opening establishing shot of the film.

The exciting part about the one shot, and the reason we needed practice doing it, is because it is quite a complicated sequence. We have to meet different set-ups throughout the take, moving the camera from person to person at times, with the shot starting by floating through a window.

Frame Sets




Kiarne decided on the frames he wanted in the one shot, creating the same effect of 5 or 6 different shots in one setup. This means that each of these individual frames can have their own meanings as they would if the shots were static. This is demonstrated especially well in the shot of the mirror, which foreshadows the double as well as establishing the mirror which will be used in one of the following shots.
