The first camera shots I looked at were Zoe's. I chose to comment on her head-on shot, follow shot, establishing shot, and close-up shot. For the head-on shot, I love how Zoe used her dog as the subject of the shot, it was unique, and really gave me the sense that the dog was coming directly towards me. For the follow shot, Zoe did a great job of keeping the camera steady, so the shot wasn't just all a blur. I felt like i was trailing right behind the subject. The establishing shot in Cassadaga was well done because Zoe moved the camera slowly and steadily, and got a lot of the environment in her shot, which made me feel very familiar with where she was, and almost as if I had been there before. Finally, Zoe's close-up shot was another unique shot. I love how instead of using a person or an actual object as her subject, she used the shoreline and the waves. I really saw the details in the sand and water, and I really like how she took that shot.
The second camera shots I looked at were Sarah's. I chose to comment on her point of view shot, follow shot, high angle shot, and establishing shot. In Sarah's point of view shot, she mimicked a person walking by loosely holding the camera so it moved with her footsteps. This created a very realistic moment, and made me feel like I'm the one walking, not like I'm watching a video. For the follow shot, I love how steadily Sarah held the camera. I felt as if i was walking right behind the subjects, or moving in a car almost because of how steady the camera was. For the high angle shot, Sarah found a good angle to really make the viewer feel like they were standing above the subject, or much taller than her. Lastly, Sarah's establishing shot was very well done. Her use of her surroundings, and the lighting from the sunrise really established the setting and made me feel like I was sitting there watching the sunrise with her.
