RESEARCH - Practising different shots

Extreme Close up

This shot gives the audience an idea of the character's features. It also lets us know what the character may be feeling.

Interesting feet shot

We chose this angle to show someones feet because it looks good against the background and you can see the environment it was taken in.

Over the shoulder shot

The over the shoulder shot shows that two people are conversing and also gives the viewer a point of view to see the scene in.

Rule of thirds shot 1

The rule of thirds shot helps to focus on an object as well as its surrounding area. For example, the object that is in focus is the road sign. Using this shot makes it more interesting than a shot of just the road sign straight on.

Rule of thirds shot 2

Here is another example of the rule of thirds shot. The object in focus would be the silver statue thing. Putting the object to one side lets the viewers see where it is.

Wide shot

Using a wide shot establishes the environment in which the scene is taken. It lets viewers see whats happening.

Window shot

Taking a shot in front of the window causes lighting problems. for example, a shadow is cast over the character which then appears to make them look darker. This could give a negative connotation even if it wasn't intended.
