Stop Motion Fridge Shots


There were certain shots we used in our prototype video that we wanted to replicate in our actual video, for example the stop motion fridge letters moving around a fridge to spell "Peach". This was a shot that I recreated using a fridge in one of the boarding houses. Immediately, I realized I couldn't use the angle I wanted because of the reflection in the fridge door. This meant that I had to angle it to the side, giving the fisheye lens a different effect as it wasn't isolated on the fridge door. I took a video and paused it to take screenshots afterwards.

This is something I can redo once discussing the parts of it that we don't like as a group. Another issue I faced was the focus of the fisheye lens that I had borrowed wasn't great and means that the shot isn't that clear, affecting the overall quality. This is a problem as it will be put next to shots that were shot on a professional camera.

I feel as though this exercise was beneficial to learn what needed to change, and now I can attempt it in a different way that will hopefully make it turn out better. Things I would try to change are the lens I used, to be clearer, and possibly finding a surface that isn't as reflective in order to angle the lens better. 


I took this opportunity to try and take an instagram picture that would relate to the video but wasn't taken from it directly. I feel as though this worked better and has the desired lens effect in comparison to the stop motion video I took.
