Scooby Doo: The Chase

The goal of the project The Chase was to have one character be chased by something else. My partner and I did not come up with a lot of ideas on the spot. We both decided to choose what kind of conflict we wanted for the video, We needed to decide if it would be man vs man, man vs nature, or man vs self. We then based our video ideas off of that conflict we chose. The next day we both came to class with a few ideas of what to do for our project. We both liked the idea of Scooby and Shaggy being chased by a monster so, We started story-boarding. Throughout the process of story-boarding, I was checking to make sure we had all six shots and didn't go over the 180 degree rule. It was then time to film.

Throughout this project I learned the value of teamwork. I missed two days of filming due to the flu and then my partner missed the next day. It was a struggle to catch up with the other groups and finish filming but; we pulled together as a team. We finished it by the deadline. I also learned that your shots have to have a flow to them. When filming,  your shots need to flow from scene to scene. I switched a few of my shots because I thought the order did not go well with my music I added. These experiences have helped made me a better videographer. 

If I had the chance to redo this assignment, I would fix my continuity errors. The person who played Scooby Doo changed outfits in the middle of the video. There was also one shot that was a close up of Scooby and Shaggy that was not focused on their faces. Next time I would make sure to watch out for details of each shot. I would keep the way I filmed the first shots with the flashlight shining into the camera. It added a cool effect. I would also keep the running shots. I thought it was creative the way we had silhouettes of Scooby and Shaggy running. I thought I did a good job coming in late and leaving early. I would also keep my dramatic twist of having our video teacher be the monster.  

For my next project I will continue to think outside the box and be creative when filming. I believe that all ideas are good ones because it just might be the weird idea that makes your video unique and creative. I will also make sure to pay attention to all detail to avoid continuity errors. 

I thought this project was super fun and can't wait to gather what I learned to make my next project even better!
