This post part two of the Early Release Day class. We had covered a lot of material, so I wanted to split it up into two posts! I will still cover everything we have done this weeks in the upcoming posts.
We had planned the exact shots of scene one which I had covered in very light detail in the past. We had finished it up the first scene buy #1 looking at the laptop screen and showing her reaction. It then it cuts to a montage of #2 out for a run. We thought it would be humorous to do a montage to capture the vibe that #2 had felt while running and to show that #2 was in her zone. We would start with a close up of their feet running on the sidewalk, a close up of their face, and more close ups. We would show a long shot of #2 centered in the middle third running towards the camera. Simultaneously, there would be music playing in the background which is actually the song that #2 is listening through #2's headphones.
When #2 is waiting at the stoplight running in place before #2's headphones are pulled out, we wanted to include a long shot of #2 in the right third with the volume of the song much lower than the shot before this one because we thought it would be pretty funny to show.
When #2 is waiting at a stoplight to cross the road, running in place, and hears a ding notifying #2 of an incoming email. #2 pulls out their phone and headphones, one at a time. For each headphone, the volume reduces by a quarter for each one. You can still hear the music but you can tell that it is coming from the headphones.
Random things I have been loving:
Google maps with the tiny person that you can put on the road. It has been FANTASTIC for planning out shots, such as above.
The other one I forgot because my parents just surprised me at the cafe and I lost my train of thought.
