Week 2: 12 film shots
EXTREME CLOSE-UP: This shot shows the small details of the subjects eye. This was by far the easiest shot to film
CLOSE SHOT: This shot shows the subject from waist up
EYE LEVEL SHOT: This shot displays the subject at eye level
LONG SHOT: This shot shows the subject from head to toe. This was one of the harder shots because it was difficult getting the subject's entire body in the frame
HEAD-ON SHOT: In this shot, the subjects projected towards the camera
DOLLY: In this shot, the camera moved down the sidewalk. This shot was hard to accomplish because I didn't have a stabilizer or glider. To keep the camera somewhat stable, I tried to use my arm/elbow.
CLOSE-UP: This shot focused on the subject's hand
FOLLOW SHOT: In this shot, the camera followed the subject as he walked. This shot was a bit difficult because I didn't have a stabilizer to keep the camera from shaking
FLASH: In this shot, the subject quickly popped into the frame to create a shock effect.
OVER-THE-SHOULDER: This shot captured the subjects point of view while also showing part of their face/shoulder
LOW-ANGLE SHOT: This shot had the camera look up at the subject to make him look bigger
REACTION SHOT: This shot captured the subject's reaction to something that happened behind the camera.
I. The low angle shot was cute - it was also very stable and well-filmed and I liked the way you had the subject look back down at the camera for extra effect. It feels like you're being looked down upon by a little kid and the concept is interesting to explore.
ReplyDeleteII. Your dolly shot was actually very well-done for what it was. The pace at which you were moving the camera left the context of the shot open to interpretation - is the character running from something/someone? In a hurry?
III. I liked your close-up shot because the way your subject opened the mailbox slowly raised questions and left suspense in the viewer. It generated a sense that there could've been anything from a college acceptance letter to an eviction notice in there.
IV. Your extreme close up shot looked as if the subject was just waking up - I can imagine it in a high school movie where the main character's daily routine is shown at the beginning of the movie.
1. I really liked your eye level shot because it shows ur subject and gives us a look at how you view him and it also shows how happy he is in the moment.
ReplyDelete2. I also like your Head-on shot because it shows how the two cheerleaders are coming towards the camera and again shows their emotions.
3. I love your dolly shot because even though you don’t have a stabilizer you still managed to get the effect of it. It has some stability in this shot and could look even better with a stabilizer. This shot shows how it would feel to be walking in the neighborhood.
4. I also liked your Flash shot, it shows ur subject coming out of no where and scaring the person who is viewing.
The follow shot creates a sense of curiosity as the viewer wants to know to where the subject is heading and what he is looking at on his phone but the shot excludes all of this information. The low angle shot makes the subject look menacing and all-mighty compared to the viewer who feels insignificant. The reaction shot leaves the viewer out of the scenario as the subject is the only individual seeing what is happening creating boatloads of tension and curiosity as to what happened behind the cameras. The flash shot surprises and even shocks the viewer as initially, the scene is empty, and suddenly a little boy jumps out and catches us by surprise.
