Slow Motion for Scene 1 Shot 2- Planning

 Slow Motion:

After doing preliminary technical research in older blogs (The Procedures of Media. The learn how and making of a Film. 2025: Slow-Mo: Cinematography Research), on how to properly make FPS lower to get slow motion to work. So, let's practice with a person in frame and compare the 60FPS and 30FPS.

The Comparison:

30 FPS Practice

60 FPS Practice

These shots filmed with a 1 second difference between the two, but they have a small noticeable difference in each shot. The 60FPS has the wind being more noticeable compared to the 30 FPS. Otherwise, the movement of the person is too close compared to each other. Which the entire purpose was to slow down the movement of the humans and to get time for their names to appear above them for the credits.

Lack of a Slow Zoom:

While first practicing this shot, the slow zoom looked clanky. With the lower FPS, making the video look like a low-quality online video. The cinematography in this film needs to look formal, clean and not dirty. When I saw the video, I imminently deleted it, thinking the camera was smeared. It was not. The zoom takes away from the film and is unnecessary.

Take Aways:

Due to the shot being too short and not having a noticeable movement difference. I will implement a wide shot to the side to give more time for the credits to appear and get rid of the zoom. This gives more time to introduce the characters and setting, and if I use my director's camera, I can lower the FPS even further to make it work.
