For this specific scene, I wanted to include different angles and shots so that the audience would be able to see Allie through various perspectives. I first filmed a long shot of the whole bunk bed. This showed how her room was set up and it represented her type of style through symbolic objects, such as the USA dobok top hanging from her bed, her adidas slides below her, and her stuffed animals above her.
The USA uniform symbolizes her passion and dedication to taekwondo. The slides represent her athleticism. The stuffed animals exemplify that despite participating in a tough sport, she is still a kid with a big heart.
The other shots I filmed act as a way to get the audience to see Allie's sad emotions when she realizes how long her ankle will recover. I use a series of close-ups and medium side shots to illustrate this.
Here are some examples:
After filming these, I recorded my blank computer screen from my POV as Allie. Then, I screen recorded myself typing, "how long does it take for a broken ankle to heal" on Google. So when I edit this in my project, I will overlay the screen recording to align with my computer screen.
The reason I didn't just take a video of me actually typing from the computer in one take, is because the picture quality of the screen would've look pixelated. I think it is clearer to use a screen recording because it is more clear and can be seen better by the viewers.
Here's what it looks like separated:
