Project 12 – Connecting shots
Exercise 15: Repeating the Mosjukhin experiment
Here are my attempts at the Mosjukhin experiment. I found that re-ordering the clips only made sense (to me anyway) for one of them. See what you think. I’ll post the narrative I was aiming for after I have received your comments.

Project 11 – Screen Space

Exercise 14: Two people communicating
Having read the script and briefed my actors, I have planned my storyboard based on two old friends who recognise each other across the street. This time I have scaled my storyboard to the 16:9 frame of my camera to illustrate positions in the frame.
Fade in - Medium shot, Sarah on bench next to road on left of frame. | Medium shot, Dan waiting at bus stop across the road. |
Medium close up, Sarah looks up and across the street at Dan, flicker of recognition | Extreme close up, (try zooming in from the previous shot) as Sarah tries to remember. |
Dan looks up and across at Sarah. Medium close up. | Sarah smiles at Dan and remembers him. |
Long shot of Dan starting to cross the road - fade out. |
Many thanks to Julie and Cavan for their help in putting together this sequence. It happened remarkably quickly and we avoided the rain.
I think I got what was required and as this is my first time using actors, it went quite well. The depiction of communication across a space (the main road) works.
Because of the different levels of traffic noise behind each shot, I recorded a separate sound track once I knew how long the sequence would be, I lowered the volume and added it to the audio track. Please give me your feedback on this sequence.
