Sequencing

      Hey Everyone! As you know, we started our second quarter project, so for those of you doing a news story, this blog may help you. For this week's reflective response, I'll be talking to you about sequencing. Sequencing is b-roll, put in a certain order, in a particular sequence. A sequence displays an action going on in an order. Usually, a sequence displays a variety of angles and shots (wide, medium, close-up, extreme close-up). In my first quarter project with Herenui, we didn't have sequences in our video, but random shots instead. This quarter however, I plan to shoot and edit our b-roll in sequences. I'd like to share with you a video I found on vimeo that shows you how to shoot a sequence. In the video, "How to Shoot A Sequence by Bart Noonan" from member Thomson Reuters Foundation, is very descriptive and easy to follow along. The action in this video is a girl playing the piano, but instead of just a plain shot, they put it into a sequence. Sequences give more visual to the audience and it's more entertaining than just one shot. Well, that's it for my blog! Thanks for reading! Bye!
