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.
