5x5 Video


Sky 5x5 from Asha R on Vimeo.


Assignment/Activity Title— 5x5                                                        Year—Sophomore

Skill— interpretation, communication               Portfolio Category— Media and Communications


In the 5x5 assignment we were supposed to convey a theme by using 5 unedited 5 second clips. We could not add any sound effects or use any filters. We also had to use the original sound. When Mr. Mayo introduced this project, I already knew what I wanted to do. I have always been fascinated with the sky.

However, during this assignment I faced many problems. I knew that to capture the true beauty of the sky, it would have been best to use a professional camera and tripod. I did not have either of these items. I could have borrowed them, however; I decided not to because I knew it would be a lot to carry with my field hockey equipment. I also was not to comfortable taking a professional camera and tripod around my community. In the end I ended up using my phone.
If I could do the 5x5 over again, I would get better shots. During my night shot, it was raining; therefore, one could not see the true beauty of the night sky also the sound of the rain detracted from the peaceful tone I was thinking of when I was originally planning. I also did my shots vertically instead of horizontally, which also detract from the overall look. In total, the video did not reflect my prior knowledge about film making from CAP and the Humanities program at Eastern.
Despite these problems, I got an A on the assignment. I do not believe I earned this grade; however, I still feel that this assignment is important. I have learned from my mistakes and now will make a conscious effort not to do them again.
