Dolly Shot: To create this shot, I held the camera in front of me and held it still as i slowly walked closer to my friends. This created the effect that the audience is moving closer to the people, even though it's just the camera. It was hard to keep the camera stable when recording this.
Extreme Close-Up: In order to get the extreme close-up right, I had to make sure that I was close enough to to see tiny details and really focus in one one or two specific features of the subject. I had to make sure the subject filled the entire frame. It was hard to get close enough and keep the camera focused.
High Angle: I stood on the building 3 balcony to get the high angle shot. This makes the point of focus appear smaller, and slightly powerless. This was an easy shot to create, seeing as I just had to point the camera downwards facing the subjects.
Close-Up: To record the close-up shot, i focused on a specific movement and object, and made sure only those things were in the frame. I made sure you could only see the scrunchie, and Kelsey's hand grabbing it. This was also an easy shot to get, I just stayed focused on one area without moving.
Point of View: I had Kelly hold my phone directly in front of my face at eye level, and I held my hands out in front of me, making it appear that I was touching Renee's face, and allowing the audience to "see through my eyes". This shot was hard because i couldn't record it on my own, and needed somebody else to hold it while i put my hands in front of the camera.
Full Body Shot: For the full body shot, I recorded Kelly from a distance, and made sure my angle was correct so i could stay in landscape, but still fit her entire body into the frame. This shot was easy to record, It just took a while to find the right position so I could get her whole body into the frame without having her too far away.
Low Angle: For the low angle shot, I got as low to the ground as possible, and tilted my camera upwards facing Kelly. This can make the subject appear powerful, as if they're looking down on the audience. This was hard to record, because the angle where I was crouching down it was hard for me to see the screen, so I wasn't entirely sure if i was getting a good angle.
Close Shot: A close shot shows greater detail. I recorded Kelly from the waist up, so you could see the details in her hair and face and clothes, but she didn't take up the entire frame. This was easy to record.
Choker: A choker is similar to a close shot, except it shows just the subject's face. This was a little hard to record because I had to make sure I got close enough to Kelly's face to fill most of the frame, but not too close to the point where it became an extreme close-up shot.
Cameo Shot: To film the cameo shot, I found a neutral background (the walls in the building 3 hallways) and filmed Kelly standing against it. This brings the focus on Kelly, rather than on a background that stands out, and would direct the audience's attention away from her. This was easy to film, I just had to hold the camera up, and find a neutral background.
1. I really enjoyed your dolly shot, as you did a great job of keeping the camera steady, while also keeping the overall feel of having the viewer move closer to the subject(s).
ReplyDelete2. The extreme long shot was very nicely made, as it didn't have the camera moving very much, while also having a large portion of the subject still in shot.
3. The Point Of View shot was very steady, especially for having someone else hold the camera. It really made it look like the camera, or viewer, was looking through the camera's eyes.
4. The cameo shot was nicely made, as it still included a neutral background, which is kind of difficult to find at school, and kept the subject in the frame.
1. This dolly shot was excellent! You didn't use a stabilizer, but you still managed to keep the camera steady. The setting of this shot was also very pretty instead of being indoors like my dolly shot was.
ReplyDelete2. The extreme close up shot was great! The shot was made in good lighting so the detail of the subject's eye was clear.
3. The high angle shot was great as well. The camera was held steadily and the actions of the subjects was clear.
4. The extreme long shot was beautiful. The Grand Canyon is the perfect setting for a shot like this. I like how you changed it up and included a shot that wasn't taken at school. Great job!
1. I really liked the extreme long shot because it was very pretty and since it was the Grand Canyon you could see up to great distances from the angle she used.
ReplyDelete2. I also enjoyed the reaction shot because it was clear to see the object actress was shocked or surprised.
3. I also liked the cameo shot because instead of bringing focus to the surrounding environment, it brought focus to the actress.
4. I also liked the low angle shot because it made the actress seem more superior as If she was towering over everything and everyone.
