2. This next shot below is a choker. A choker shot is typically taken in a special instance of a film where the director wants you to notice the expressions of a certain character by showing a subject's face very up close.
3. This is a dolly shot. A dolly shot is where the camera follows the subject's path of movement; for instance if the subject is turning the corner or walking in a certain direction.
4. The next shot is an extreme close-up. The use for an extreme close up is when something dramatic or important is happening in a film where the film wants to draw attention to the subject's emotions or actions. This can typically be a shot of eyes or something else very close up.
5. The next angled shot is a low-angle shot. This shot is used when a subject is very high above the main camera angle. Often the camera is looking up at the subjects.
6. This angled shot is a high-angle shot. This shot is when the camera is high above the subject(s) and is looking down on the subject(s).
7. This shot below is called a pan shot. This is a shot when the camera horizontally moves around the setting to show multiple subjects from one part of a scene to another.
8. This next shot is an extreme long shot. This is a shot where the subjects are shown in a distance. The area surrounding the subjects are typically enhanced and brought out in this shot.
9. This shot is known as a full shot. A full shot is not as close as a medium shot but not as broad as an extreme long shot as well. This shot falls somewhere in the middle where you can see the whole subject head to toe.
10. This shot is called a point-of-view shot (POV). A point of view shot is a shot from the character's perspective.
11. This next shot is known as a head-on shot. This angle is shot when an action, object, or subject come directly at the camera creating a shock factor for the audience.
12. This last shot is known as a reaction shot. This shot is shown when a subject is reacting or surprised to something off camera that the audience may or may not know about.
Cool shots!
ReplyDeleteI like your point-of-view shot. I think it has potential to add a lot of creativity to films if it's used in the right way.
When I saw your high-angle shot, I thought that it could be useful in films in which a lot of action is happening. I like how you added the action into this shot.
I admire your dolly shot. It was very creative and well-thought out. I like the action and tension it showed.
Your choker shot was interesting. I think it depends on what you're filming in how the shot turns out.
Overall, great job.
AWESOME SHOTS! WOW! I loved the dolly shot! Who's that actor? She's pretty cute. Anyway, the shot was pretty cool and it felt like you were also running away from the action she is running away from.
ReplyDeleteThe cameo shot was also pretty cool. You were up close and personal with the subject, and let the audience know they needed to pay attention to that subject.
The extreme long shot gave the feeling that that was a filler shot and sets the setting for the following scene. This could either be unimportant or very important.
The reaction shot creates mystery for the audience and makes them curious to know what is behind the camera.
I like the high angle shot to show what the actors were doing below. The dolly shot was great too, it showed that this could be used in some horror films to show that actor running from something. After this, I liked the extreme long shot because it doesn't provide the viewer with all the information that the actors are doing, leaving us to imagine what they are doing/ talking about. The pan shot was good too because it showed the setting.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your shots Ryan! I really enjoyed the dolly shot, point-of-view shot, reaction shot, and the extreme long shot.
ReplyDeleteThe dolly shot gave me a sense of excitement as it was fast paced and left me wondering what was going to happen next.
The point-of-view shot gave me a similar feeling in addition to a sense as if I was the character in the film.
The reaction shot gave me mixed emotions, as I was both afraid and excited after seeing the character's reactions to what was not visible in the frame of the camera.
I also enjoyed the extreme long shot as the wide angle and overall view of the background gave me a sense of understanding as it allowed me to make more observations.
