ONW Procedures Video

For our first project, we were supposed to create a video that showed the right way to behave when performing a specific behavior at ONW. The techniques to be showcased were the six shot system and the 180 degree rule.

The clip needed to be flipped horizontally.

My video used both of these techniques well, implementing both effective close-ups and establishing shots. When editing the video, however, I noticed that the 180 degree rule had been slightly broken, and it didn't flow well enough. I used the effect in Premiere to flip it horizontally, and it was fixed.

The basic storyline was one that, as a participant in ONW theatre, is important to me. Keeping the dressing rooms clean shouldn't be difficult, but for some, it is. Essentially, it shows what happens when someone walks in, expecting them to be neat, but then has to clean up someone else's mess.

The process of color correcting

This was the first video that I used specific shots, like close-ups, to further tell the story. I was surprised by the overall affect it added. Additionally, the focus on the flowers instead of on the person in the shot shown above was something that I hadn't thought about, but once my partner did it, I appreciated the visual interest it added.

Before and after color correcting, side by side

A technique that I had previously used definitely helped me once again. Color correcting the video from yellow to a more blue, neutral tone made it much more aesthetically pleasing. This is an issue I anticipate to have in the future, because the yellow tint is caused by the lights in the school.

I definitely appreciate the variety of close-ups and wider shots. However, a classmate recommended a shot of folding the clothes that were picked up at one point, to further visually explain what was done with them.

Overall, this was my first serious project in video, and I'm very excited to create more and improve over this year.
