6 shot system




The 6 shot system is a sequence of videos or pictures that make a clean video. The shots are extra close up, close up, medium shot, wide shot, and extra wide shot. The extra close up is a shot of the hands, the close up is a face shot, the medium shot is from the waist up, the wide shot is a whole body shot, and the extra wide shot is the entire scene.

What i learned from this project was how to film each shot with precision and how to make each shot work out in sequence. I also learned how to make the shots line up in order to be clean. I had to re-teach myself how to use the blade tool and how to cut the music off to fit my video.

When I make my next project I will use the 6 shot system but I will put my own creative touch to it.

highlight video




While in final cut pro, I learned the ways to import and export by using command E & I. I also learned all of the blade tools and how to select short clips of certain videos using I & O. I had never used Final Cut Pro, so I had to learn everything to be able to use it, what I listed above were the main points.

I chose my hobby as dirt biking because I like being able to go fast on a motorized vehicle that is completely under my control. I also ride with my best friend who doesn't go to this school, but has the knowledge of how to ride and control the bike like I do. I chose to start riding for fun because my dad used to ride.

This hobby is important to me because it is surprisingly a good way to be active outside and gives you some exercise. You get moving and exercise from the way the bike reacts with the environment, and if you crash you have to be able to get the bike up and running again and that means lifting the bike when you're hurt and tired.
