Seeing Through Different Shots ( second assignment )


  • First Video: This is a close shot; showing the mid-waist and up. Could look like a cameo shot but the background is different. 
  • Second Video: This is a close up shot. Subject is zoomed in on one part of the body, in this instant a hand pointing at information. 
  • Third Video: A cut a way shot is a shot of the subject including the reaction of what she/ he has witnessed. In this case the college ACT scores. When taking this picture i found it hard to keep the camera steady and not move it to quickly. 
  • Fourth Video:  The extreme long shot i found to be most interesting. In my point of view the background helps shape the main shot itself, adding details and making the more more appealing. 
  • Fifth Video: The eye level shot gives a face to face feeling through the shot. I believe it gives more of a personal view that the viewers can appreciate. 
  • Sixth Video: With a reverse- angle shot the subject is facing the opposite direction when engaged in conversation. This allows for viewers to interpret body language while not actually being in the conversation. 
  • Seventh Video: Head- on shot is when a subject is moving towards the camera. I noticed that this really gives a sense of movement to the shot. 
  • Eighth Video: Like the extreme long shot, the long shot captures the surroundings of the shot and brings life to the picture. 
  • Ninth Video: The dolly shot is a moving shot, making this a difficult shot to take. although i didn't have tracks in order to complete this shot, i can still see why this shot isn't as used in videos due to the difficulty. 
  • Tenth Video: The full shot captures a head to toe view of the subject. Popular today, people use this shot to show off outfits. Picture must be taken at a distance in order to capture the full body length. 
  • Eleventh Video: Talk about a difficult shot to take, the follow shot requires a lot of skill along with equipment to stabilize the camera. Just as it sounds the follow shot follows the subject. This shot could have been easier if i were to use a rolling chair and turn it as the subject moves or even a stabilizer.  
  • Twelfth Shot: The reaction shot taken is my subject reacting to a picture seen on her phone. The picture on her phone isn't visible on camera making it different from a cutaway shot. 

Comments

  1. Reverse angle shot: this shot makes it so when the character is speaking the camera was focusing on them that way the viewer knows clearly who is talking.
    Reaction shot: This shot, while similar to reverse-angle, feels more suspenseful and mysterious because the viewer doesn't know what the character i seeing.
    close up shot: this shot brings attention to a very specific part of the characters body or in other cases an object, and allows the viewer to focus on the central image.
