The Six Shot System

The six shot system is a way to shoot photos so the viewer can easily understand what is going on in the pictures. It has six simple photos that you can take to provide an accurate depiction of the person, or subject, what they are doing, and how they feel about it. 


The first shot is a close up of the hands. This shows what he subject of the photos is doing. In this picture try to make the hands take up most of the screen. 










The second photo is a close up of the face. It shows how the subject feels about the task they are preforming. Try to get the full face in tis picture, not cutting off the top or bottom. 










The third photo is an over the shoulder shot. This shows what the person is doing from their perspective. Try to get some of their head and the object the are working on.









The forth picture is a medium shot. It ties together what the subject is doing and what they are feeling.  You should be able to see from their head to their waist. Get their face in the shot if possible. 








The fifth photo is a wide shot. This lets you see all of the person as well as some of the setting. Make sure the person is looking towards the side of the screen that has more space. Get all the the person in the shot, don't cut off the head or feet.  








The sixth and final shot is an extra wide shot. This shot shows the setting in relation to the subject.

You make the ball elongate and get thiner to create the illusion of speed. When it hits the ground you make it squash to look like it hit something.

Bee Story Animation

Image
Project Overview For the last couple weeks in animation I have been working on a story animation. First I had to make plot line and create a character for my story. I decided to make it about a bee who runs into the window of a flower shop while trying to get to the flowers inside. Next I had to create a storyboard to show how all my shots would go together. Then I had to create sketches of my character and scan them into the computer, the image to the side is my fist sketch of my bee once I scared it into the computer. Once I had the sketches into the computer I used photoshop to make them look cleaner and to add color. Next, I create most of the elements of the backgrounds in photoshop. I made the flowers in illustrator and moved into photoshop, there is an image of the flowers to the side. Last I animated everything in After Effects using my new knowledge of arks and timing, w alk cycles, multilayer, compositions, and ease in/ease out for keyframes. Reflection  During t...
