Blog Post 2: Camera Shots and Angles Post

Introduction:

Today I experimented with recording various shots and angles. Below are the shots that were recorded along with descriptions explaining the importance and utilizations of each shot within a film setting.

Shot 1: Low Angle Shot

The first shot, a Low Angle Shot,  taken from below the subject, making them appear larger, more powerful, or imposing. It is often used to emphasize dominance or authority.

Shot 2:  Extreme Close Up Shot

The second shot, an Extreme Close Up shot, focuses on a small detail, such as an eye or an object, intensifying emotional reactions or drawing attention to a crucial element. It's often used to create tension or highlight subtle expressions within a person.

Shot 3: Point of View Shot

   

The third shot, a Point of View Shot, shows the scene from a character's perspective, helping the audience experience the action as if they are seeing through the character's eyes. It is used to create immersion with the character and setting.

Shot 4: Close Up Shot

 

The fourth shot, a Close Up Shot, frames a subject's face or a specific object, allowing the viewer to take greater notice of the intricacies of the subject. It's frequently used to show accentuate detail on the subject at hand

Shot 5: Reaction Shot

The fifth shot,  A Reaction Shot, captures a character's response to an event or dialogue outside of the camera's view, often focusing on their facial expression. It's used to convey emotional reactions and to provide context to the surrounding events or dialogue.
