Stanley Milgram Study

This is the Milgram Experiment reenactment. Frank Destefano and I planned and shot this. quite possibly the best quality video I've made. The most useful thing I did was a storyboard and planning a script for this video. I think that the editing was a little bit off but other than that, I'm very proud of ourselves for making it. I came up with the idea to do the Milgram experiment and I wrote up the storyboard. I think that just doing a video from beginning to end gives me a boost of confidence. If I keep this up, I'll be on the road to success in no time. Right now I'm just trying to get on my feet and begin walking.
On a more technical note, I've realized that lighting is incredibly important. It effects the mood and can change the meaning of the story from being comedic to dramatic to experimental. I think that the lighting was a little bit off in this video because we used work lights rather than professional ones. This will be my next investment. It has to be. And for future purposes, I need to learn how to set lights and stuff. Where do I find people??
Finally, I'd just like to add that in the real study, the experimenters didn't talk with such emotion. They had a script to follow. My point is that the viewer may get misled by this video because it almost seems like the participant was forced into shocking the other person. Regardless, this was my interpretation of the Study.
