Workshop journal / Weeks 2–3

A frame.
A performance.

Recorded workshop footage, followed by ideas in development.先记录课堂拍摄的实际素材,再整理正在发展的构思。

Week 2 — Performance footage

Recorded footage · My role: Actor已拍摄素材 · 我的职责:演员

Three recordings from my Week 2 workshop. I participated as an actor. The clips show a seated performance from different camera positions; they are presented separately here.这是我第二周课堂练习的三段录像,我在其中担任演员。三段素材从不同机位呈现坐着的人物表演,在此分别展示。

01 / Side-angle performance侧面表演镜头

00:23.52

A seated performer uses a tablet, briefly looks up and then returns their attention to the screen. The side angle keeps the face and upper body visible.人物坐在桌前使用平板,短暂抬头后又将注意力转回屏幕。侧面机位保留了面部和上半身的动作。

02 / Behind the performer人物背后的视角

00:05.76

A view from behind the seated performer places the head in the foreground and the classroom doorway in the background. The framing connects the performer with the surrounding space.机位位于坐着的人物背后,头部在前景,教室门口在背景。构图建立了人物与周围空间的联系。

03 / Framed by the monitors显示器之间的正面镜头

00:25.72

A frontal view places the seated performer between two large computer monitors. The tablet and screens frame small changes in gaze and expression.正面机位将坐着的人物置于两台大型显示器之间。平板与屏幕围合出构图,让视线和表情的细微变化进入画面。

Actor’s reflection演员反思

My contribution to this exercise was acting. The footage records a seated performance, with attention moving between the tablet and the surrounding room. Comparing the camera positions provides a starting point for discussing how clearly these small actions read on screen.我在这次练习中的贡献是表演。画面记录了坐姿表演,以及注意力在平板和房间之间的转移。对照不同机位,可以进一步讨论这些细小动作在画面中是否清楚。

Initial reflection draft初步反思草稿

To develop this reflection: what was the character thinking when looking up, and what direction or feedback did I receive during the exercise?进一步完善反思:角色抬头时在想什么?练习过程中,我获得了什么表演指导或反馈?

Point of view & suspense

Concept draft构思草稿

A student walks alone down a corridor. A second set of footsteps makes them turn around. Their point of view reveals an empty passage. A sudden phone ringtone creates a false scare. They answer and hurry through the exit. The camera remains in the empty corridor before cutting to black.一名学生独自走在走廊里,另一组脚步声让其回头。主观视点镜头展示空无一人的通道。手机铃声突然响起,造成虚惊。学生接听后快步从出口离开,摄影机停留在空走廊,随后切黑。

Sequence outline场景节奏

  1. Establish the space. An objective wide shot introduces the student and corridor.建立空间:客观全景介绍学生与走廊。

  2. Suggest a presence. Footsteps sound from outside the frame, then stop when the student stops.暗示有人:画外脚步声响起,并随着学生停步而停止。

  3. Share the look. A reaction shot leads into a subjective view of the empty corridor.分享视线:反应镜头连接空走廊的主观视点。

  4. Interrupt the silence. A phone rings; the apparent threat has an ordinary explanation.打破安静:手机铃声造成的这次惊吓,有一个日常的解释。

  5. Leave the space. The student exits. The camera holds, then cuts to black.离开空间:学生离场,镜头停留后切黑。

This is a short concept outline. The workshop shot list still needs to be developed into at least 12 shots, with the viewpoint of each shot identified.这是简短构思。课堂练习的镜头表仍需展开至至少12个镜头,并标明每个镜头的视点。

The words he repeats

Family homage / Writing notes家人致敬写作/素材笔记

When I visit my grandfather at the old house, he reminds me again and again that my health matters more than my studies. At first, I find the repetition tiring. Later, it feels warm, and I become afraid of the day I might no longer hear him say it.每次去老屋探望爷爷,他总是反复叮嘱我:在外面读书,身体最重要,学习是次要的。一开始我觉得有点啰嗦,后来却感到温暖,也害怕有一天再也听不到这些叮嘱。

Health comes first. Studying comes second.身体是第一位,学习是次要的。

The writing begins with a repeated phrase and a change in how I hear it: from an interruption to an expression of care.这段写作从反复出现的一句话开始,重点是我如何从觉得被打扰,转变为听见其中的关爱。

Final 250-word text to be added after revision.修改确认后,将在此加入最终250词文章。
