A Look Through My Classmate's Eyes

I reviewed Kiley’s and Lily’s storyboards, and while there were some similarities between their filming styles, overall their takes on this activity appear to be extremely different. 


Kiley’s storyboard did a solid job of evoking a sense of emotion from the viewer. Following the turbulent relationship of the subjects, the use of different angles such as extreme close up, panning shot, low and high angle shots allowed the viewers to feel for the subjects during both low and high points.

For Lily's storyboard, with the reaction shot being one of the first few shots in the storyboard, as a viewer, I was drawn in and wanted to see the rest of the storyboard. The over-the-shoulder shot shown where Erin is looking on her phone almost makes the viewer feel as though they are experiencing whatever the subject is feeling right along with them. A follow shot has a similar effect, as the viewer feels as though they are walking right in step with the subject. The head-on shot also induces a bit of fear within the audience, with the subject running straight towards the camera it almost feels as though she may knock straight into you. The explanations provided under each shot justify my thoughts in a way, as well as did a good job of explaining the filming process that occurred.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the different ways that Lily versus Kiley versus myself went about this project, and I found this project to be extremely entertaining.
