so today in class me and my group test shot a random scene from a script which someone in our group wrote. the scene we chose was quite simple in terms of visuals but effective as we were able to test out different angles to make an all dialouge scene more visually pleasing and entertaining.
Instead of editing fast cuts throughout the sequence we were able to give the same effect by using a different technique called blocking, blocking is like a "substitute"for cutting but instead of physically cutting you compensate by brining in maybe another character or panning whilst the character you where focused on jumps out of the way for a brief second to replicate a hallucination. blocking can also tie into "choreography"as your literally "placing" your cuts in a scene with out physically seeing a cut, just like in the Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie the opening sequence i fast, however it uses very little cuts but to compensate for that they use blocking which is very effective as it still gives the same effect of the car speeding through the desert with the camera following them onto the motorway.
our test shoot was excellent in the way that i thought i got a lot out of it from learning how to make my scenes more interesting and entertaining by incorporating the Blocking technique into it. the shoot also made me think more about future projects and how i will have to look more carefully and creatively.
