Preliminary Task

WE HAVE BEEN SET A TASK!!!
Our "practice" film, if you will, has been set as a task and it has a deadline of a few weeks.
Basically, we need to show someone walking into a room and engaging in dialogue before something happens and the film ends. It sounds really boring but we have come up with some great ideas.
The main focus, however, is to be able to use a range of different camera shots and some new techniques we can use.
Firstly, we used an EXTREME CLOSE UP (ECU). This is mainly used to show minute details of a character's face, like a tear or an expression.







Next we use the rule of thirds. You can take such pictures by using the guide lines (a grid on the camera display) and their "intersection points", where the grid lines meet. It's a better way of framing a shot so you know the exact position of an object or person. This is used to show one character stood in the same position each time the camera cuts to him, and is a view on the exact same object from a different angle. We would have used guide lines to make straighter and more effective photos but our camera was very technologically advanced in many ways than we could figure out.

Next, we tried an establishing shot, used to show the audience where the film mainly takes place, like New York or Chicago

Next, we tried a Low Angled Shot. This can be used to make a person look more intimidating, in this case, the two antagonists look bigger, and scarier. In a way.

Next, we tried a mid shot of the protagonist looking into the distance. This can be used to show more body language of the character and it shows the audience how comfortable they are in their surroundings.

Finally, we tried a line shot. This draws the audience's eye towards the distance to where the characters are running. This can be effective and draw attention to the location so that it will be more iconic. In this example, the protagonist is running towards the trees and bushes to hide from her chaser, the antagonist.
