Oops! I just realized that I summed up Session 208's lecture in my Session 207 entry. Guess that means that I should talk about what happened in Session 207.

The lecture was all about staging. This is basically how you compose your shot. Much like a painting, how you arrange the elements in your shot can greatly effect how your shot is perceived. There was some really interesting info on camera angles and how they effect the mood of the piece. Essentially, there are psychological methods that filmmakers use that can subconsciously effect how the viewer feels during the shot. Its pure mind control.....I love it!

Here is my first blocking pass. Its kind of rough in spots. Some of the actions don't read very well, especially the first two. I imagine this will be changing considerable in the next iteration because I'm not really happy the shot as a whole. It's a bit boring. Anyway, here it is:

Enjoy...
