Understanding camera angles and how we can incorporate
- 1. Understanding camera angles and how we can incorporate them into our filming. Images representing camera angles that we have taken ourselves and how we are going to use them in our film.
- 2. This angle is a two shot. This angle will be used in our film when our main character is going on dates with the boys. Due to the maximum amount of characters used in a scene in 2, this is the best way to show the characters together and interacting with one another in each scene. This is an example of us showing we understand what an extreme close up shot is. We are going to use this in our film to show clear expressions of the main character in the opening scene.
- 3. This is an example of a close up shot. This is a more common shot to use rather than the extreme close up. We are going to use this in our film This is a medium close up shot. This is going to be used in our film as it is quite a common shot, we can clearly see the face of the character and also from the neck down but stops before the waist as we want to focus more up close.
- 4. This is an example of a mid shot. This is a common shot to use in filming and taking images. This is especially common in our film as it is the shot/angle that we have used the most. This is because This is a long shot. We have used a couple of these shots in our film, this is so we can get the full body of people and some of the area around them.
- 5. This is an extreme longshot. This is so the focus point is far away and it has a large amount of space around it. We are using an extreme longshot in out film, an example of this is when we first see Mia walking towards the Co-op. The camera will be set an extreme long shot distance away from her as she walks up the stairs and into the Co-op, this is so there is a large amount of space around her so the audience can see where she is and what she is doing this moment in the film. This is our example of a mid shot. We use a lot of these shots in our film as it isn’t an intense shot like a close up, we can see a little bit of the background and also to the waist and hips of the character. This is a good way to see what is around in the background of the character but to also focus mainly on the character too.
