Week 4 

Synopsis:

The idea I landed on was still geared toward watching a movie, but rather the shooting will be much easier to film because it would only be mostly inanimate objects instead of myself. This idea is somewhat  a ritualistic way of prepping for a movie night at home.

It will be begin on a black screen with the sound of microwave beeps and hum. The next shot will be of the popcorn spinning and popping in the microwave, to then a shot of me grabbing the bag with a view from inside the microwave. 

The popcorn is then opened and and poured into a bowl with a view of the popcorn pouring on top of the camera (from inside the bowl).

I will then slide a saucer toward myself that hold 2 cookies. Once the cookies and popcorn are prepared we have a moment of walking to the living room with popcorn and saucer in my hands. 

The snacks are placed on a small table and then I use the remote to play the movie. The last shot will be a shot from behind my head watching the tv as it slowly pans out and fades to black. 

Purpose:

I find this topic to be beneficial because of the different angles and lighting opportunities to explore while compiling the shots. Even though theres range in the lighting they should all encompass the same 'at home' feel. 

Planned Improvements: 

Something I noticed immediately was the transisiton sound of the popcorn. Realistically, I cannot do a full shot of the popcorn popping so I will need to find a way to capture and clip the sounds to have a more fluid transition of the popcorn popping and the microwave beeping within a reasonable amount of time. I want to improve on my angles and possibly create a makeshift bounce light to help the lighting in the scenes.
