1. My first scene was an establishing shot, so that I was able to give the feel of the location and set the mood for what was to come.
2. This scene here is known as a pan shot, which allowed me to get a good look at the studio.
3. My third scene was a tight shot where the toaster (amplifier) took up the the whole camera.
4. Now you would think that this point of view shot was difficult to shoot, because I had to carry the camera with one hand, but really that's just a myth it wasn't difficult at all.
5. This close shot here was of the subject from the waist up, although some may argue that the shot is of the entire subject, but that was only because the subject is unusually short.
6. There's a lot of controversy surrounding this extreme close up, many of the editors felt it was too much, but I felt it was necessary to show the true passion of this moment. Some also felt the description of the " eye of death" was strange, but I think it's a metaphor for the true deadliness of the Christopher Robin Effect.
7. This low angle shot, in particular, was actually hard to do, because I had to lie on the floor for almost a minute, and now I got this pain in my neck, but it was worth it.
8. The high angle shot was definitely the most dangerous shot that we took, since I had to stand on a bed, and I was being forced to look down. Of course we all know that when we are on a high ledge, we must never look down. Again the risk was worth it.
9. The tilt shot was personally my favorite, because no one really knew what was going to appear as the camera slowly lowered, and when it was revealed I was astounded.
10. You can tell that this is campaign commercial contains a cameo shot judging by the dark background behind Oinkers.
11. The close up of the stapler (it's a close up because I'm focusing on a certain angle) actually was supposed to be a reaction shot to something scary, but no one could figure out what we could do to scare the viewers, so we just went with the stapler.
12. The final scene, is a follow shot, as I follow an orange ball across the room. At first the orange ball would not cooperate, but in the end, thankfully, we got it to roll.
The establishing shot was long and showed a lot of the surrounding area, I felt safe and warm because of the sunshine. The tight shot created tension and gave me a very mechanical feeling to the video. The follow shot was interesting because it created a sense of motion, even if it was very short. My favorite shot is the extreme close shot. Not only did it capture the fear and tension within the subjects eyes, but the dialogue built well within the scene, it was a true masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteThese shots were definitely some of the most original that I've seen. I particularly enjoyed the narration of each scene as it definitely built up a plot line and made the shots much more enjoyable. Here are some of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteFirst, the establishing shot. The words spoken in the background fit really well with the point of an establishing shot, as it helped the viewer understand what it was that they were looking at and helped explain the setting for the story.
Next, I really enjoyed the pan shot. It was really creative to use the kitchen as a "studio," but it was also really effective to be able to look around the place as the camera 'panned' around.
Third, I enjoyed the extreme close-up shot. While the subject in this case was not technically alive and therefore did not have any actual emotions, the extreme close shot makes the audience feel uncomfortable and forces viewers to focus on the eyes of the subject, as there is not much else that can be seen.
Last, I enjoyed the low angle shot as it gives viewers a unique perspective. The lower angle shot really establishes where the camera's perspective is and helps show just how large the room is, making the viewer feel small and insignificant in comparison.
