For the second week our assignment was to shoot a plate of approximately 30 seconds long of some organic movement in the scene. Immediately I wanted to film something outside with those autumn-stylized colors. My ideas were based around two friends accidentally meeting each other outside while both occupied with various activities: one taking a walk, the other a run. Setting up the composition, thinking of the flow of movement I was happy with the finalized following 3 shots.
The first 2 shots have the same focal length of 31mm, thus producing less distortion on the sides as the characters walk into the shot. The 3rd shot was at a focal length of 24mm. The distortion at the edges is now more visible and we can definitely pick it up as the two girls walk out.
The settings were kept at shutter speed 1/30, aperture f/9.0 and ISO 2500.
One of the mistakes that I noticed only later, was that the frame rate was set at 24fps, implying that ideally, we would have wanted the shutter speed to be at 1/48~1/50, according to the double rule.
With that in mind, I decided to shoot an extra clip, set in a different settings with completely different lighting and colour tones.
