Using Composition

Today I learned about the different camera compositions and the importance of each. When producing a film, there are a variety of camera compositions to consider when capturing characters and scenes. Below are a few pictures I took that utilized 5 compositions listen in the syllabus:

 

This image is an example using the Rule of Thirds because the fish is positioned with the most important elements of my image at the intersection points on the 'imaginary grid'. This produces a much more natural image.

 

 This image is an example of an eye-level shot. It presents visual information through a  viewpoint.

 

This image is an example of a crowd shot. This is because it captures a large group of fish (in this case) in one scene. This allows viewers to see a large group at once.

 

This image is an example of an aerial shot. This is because it taken from an elevated vantage point than what is framed in the shot. This shot gives viewers a deeper understanding of what is happening in the scene, and shows who is in the scene, and more of the setting. 

 Here is a picture of me.

Using Camera Shots

Today I learned about the different camera shots and the importance of each. When producing a film, there are a variety of camera shots to consider when capturing characters and scenes. Below are a few pictures I took that utilized 6 shots listed in the syllabus:

This image represents an establishing shot. the establishing shot aka the master shot is usually the first scene of a film that introduces a wide shot of the setting. 

This image is an example of a close-up shot. I used this shot to show detail of the figure and really draw viewers in. This gives the effect of an exaggerated expression. 

 This image is an example of a point of view shot. This shot was used to highlight a new perspective to almost put them in my shoes to see everything as i am viewing it. 

This image is an example of a over-the-shoulder shot because it is taken over the shoulder of one of the characters. This type of shot shows where the characters or objects are in relation to one another.

This image is an example of a wide shot. This shot was used to tell the audience who is in the scene, where the scene is set, and when the scene takes place.

This image is an example of a two-shot (clean) because two characters are shown in the scene captured in this image. this shot was used to show detail and the emotional reactions between the subjects.

Using Camera Angles

 

Today in class we were taught about the different types of camera angles and the effects of each. Upon the conclusion of our lesson, I was assigned to take my research and take some pictures using these angles and describe their effect. According to my course syllabus, here are some examples of a few camera angles that I was able to capture: 

I used a High-angle shots to make the subject and scene more dramatic. I wanted to capture a deeper view from another perspective. 

I used a low angle shot to make the subject look strong and powerful. This angle makes the objects appear bigger and allows viewers to see from a different perspective.

 

I used a canted angle for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness. It is purposely slanted to a diagonal to give the impression similar to someone raising or lowering their head to look up or down.
