Camera Shots and Angles

-

Hello again! In this blog post I will be showing five clips of different camera shots and angles. I used five different ones to show a variety of emotion, setting, and stories. Since I am still practicing they may not be perfect BUT that is more than okay! With practice comes perfection :) Enjoy the clips! 


In this clip, I was trying to achieve a close-up shot to show the emotion in the eyes. 



With this clip, I used an establishing shot. The purpose of this was to show where my setting is and how it looks like. Also, how it affects the other clips and provides a portion of the time it was shot. 


In this clip, I used a high angle shot to establish what the actor was doing and for the watcher to get an idea of what might come next. 


I used a point of view shot (POV) to show the actors viewpoint of an action they were doing. 


I used a dutch angle shot to portray disorientation that the actor is going through.

    I liked both your high angle your establishing shot. The angle made you look smaller and less of power. Or, like someone was looking down at you. On other hand, the establishing angle showed how small the garden is compared to the rest of the environment like the school building and the student parking lot.

    I liked your point of view and Dutch shot. The point of view shot made the viewer feel like they were picking up the plant. In addition, the Dutch shot did show disorientation to the viewer watching the video. Both shots made the viewer feel how the intended shots should make them feel. Especially, the disorientation shot.

    I liked both your establishing shot and your POV shot. I feel like most people shied away from doing a POV, but you achieved this well by accurately giving the viewers a realistic feel as if we were the subject ourselves. Your establishing shot was very beautiful and captured the environment well, showing the garden and also the parking lot which can be seen in the very far background.

    I enjoyed your point of view shot. It showed what the subject was doing in that moment and you did a good job recording it. I also enjoyed your high angle shot. It showed the subjects action in real time and can establish what would have happened next in the short film.

    Hi Isabella, the two shots that I liked the most was the establishing shot and extreme close-up shot. The establishing shot is beautiful,showing off the outside and the nature, like a fresh of breath air. The extreme close-up of eyes was done well, looking into someone's eyes evokes plenty of emotions.

Storyboard!

Hello Everyone! Today I will talk about storyboarding!  Storyboarding is a tool in the world of visual storytelling, acting as a crucial blueprint that guides filmmakers, animators, and other creative minds in bringing their narratives to life. Through my exploration of this art form, I've come to appreciate the balance between creativity and structure that storyboarding demands. Storyboarding is the process of visually planning a narrative, breaking it down into a sequence of individual shots or frames. This pre-visualization allows creators to map out the flow of a story, ensuring coherence and visual continuity. What I find most compelling about storyboarding is its ability to serve as a visual script, showing a preview of the final product before production begins. This early visualization not only aids in communication among the creative team but also acts as a reference point to maintain consistency in tone, pacing, and overall narrative coherence. However, despite its numero...

Movie Analysis

Hello everyone! I was watching my favorite show "Friends" and decided to analyze an episode called "The one with all the thanksgivings" if you have not seen the show yet, I highly recommend you do! I put five screenshots of scenes from the episode and analyzed the different angles and camera shots.  This is a medium shot and a two shot. In this scene, Chandler and Ross are washing the dishes and discussing what they will be doing after thanksgiving dinner. This scene affects the story because Chandler makes a rude comment about Monica that leads to the climax of the episode. It also shows their body language and can tell they have been friends for a long time. They also look relaxed and comfortable with one another. By the look of their outfits, you can infer the time period is in the 80's and they are at an older person's house (Ross's mom).  This is a mid over-the-shoulder shot. This scene is showing Monica trying to seduce Chandler a year after he cal...
