I found this source extremely useful in order to identify different shot types within my photos.
The camera I used was a Canon EOS 750D.
 |
| Extreme close-up -Tightly frames the character -Shows importance in the character as the camera is displaying more detailed footage of them -Can be used to display emotions especially through facial features such as the eye in this case looks mean |
 |
| Close-up |
 |
| Eye level |
 |
| Mid-shot - Used to possibly display a reaction of a character due to a recently occurred event or talk - Can be used a shot-reverse-shot during a conversation to display to characters speaking - Identifies emotions and feelings through facial expressions - Can show importance in a character as the camera is closer on their face than a regular body or long shot |
 |
| Long shot - Can be used to display a lot of action happening in one scene of a film - Shows how busy or quiet a scene is - Displays which characters are involved in the scene to help the audience understand who is where |
 |
| Worm's Eye shot - Creates importance for the specific character - Emphasises height making the character seem more intimidating - Could be used to introduce a villain in order to represent them as scary and strong |
 |
| Over the shoulder -Used to give the perspective of another person -The back of the head and shoulder are used to frame the image |
Our task was to make a short film with continuity editing to practice our skills using
a tripod, and experimenting with different camera angles. There were a few
challenges faced whilst attempting to film the clip such as: sunlight coming in at
the same angle of our shot, ambient noise from others around us, and the fact that
we had to work with the only natural lighting we could get in the rather dark tent.
When experimenting with Final Cut Pro we found that using hard cuts along with
reaction shots was affective especially when presenting a conversation to the
audience as they are then able to understand how each character feels and reacts
throughout the conversation.
Our task was to learn how to take different shot types. We decided to do it outside
in nature to learn more about how different shot types has an effect on the
audience watching. The grey day with the autumn leaves was really effective with
our filming to add to the mystery of the setting. Some of the struggles we faced
was mainly trying to prevent the camera from shacking in the wind and when
walking on unsteady surfaces. Nevertheless, we found that the handheld, shaky
filming was effective in creating a realistic and tense atmosphere.
Our task was to take some photographs of objects or people experimenting with
different lighting and make a compilation. The experiment was successful and
interesting to do as we witnessed the effects that different angles of light and what
different lighting colour did to someones face, for example red lighting suggested a
sinister and eery effect. There were however some challenges faced when taking
these photos. For example we had to make sure they were taken in dark rooms to
get the full effect of the light and its colour.
