Review of My 1st and 3rd person Films

Looking at both videos very simply story wise they are no different. Its just the shot that changes. For example below I have the same scene from 3rd person and 1st person.

(3rd person above.
1st person below.)

Apart from the change in color the scenes hold the same effect and purpose. The difference with the shots is the color which was done in the 1st person video to add the effect of it being viewed through the eye. The effect of the cold blue does add a very chilling and dark feel to the video. The 3rd person differs from this because I felt it didn't need to be as cold and harsh. I prefer the crisper and more realistic style I went with on the 3rd person video.

When producing both videos I had a great time directing and editing both as I felt I had great control over the creative process. Recording the video was great fun because working with Simon, Liam and Josh because they are very co-operative and can see the ideas I try to get across really well. Filming the shots were interesting because doing it in third person was so much easier then first person, with first person you have to have someone with a camera basic holding it in front of you while you walk. it can be a very uncomfortable process and highlights how much easier third person is.

Overall I really enjoyed making the video with my group and would gladly work with them again to make another video. Making videos like this are what I aim to make similar in the future so its great to experience the process now.
