Exploreing shots

For my first practical while studying media my assignment was to acquire shots of my teammate at specific angles and proportions such as wide shot typically use to portray the background a characters set in, or a shot reverse shot showing reaction in conversation between two people, and close ups show usually intense scenes or emotion. we posed for the photos with a theme of antagonist and protaganist these shots are displayed below.

Establishing shot                     
Used to show the viewers where the entire film or scene will be shot at this gives the audience a clearer sense of direction of both the characters and the plot of the film.


 
wide shot with leading line
This wide shot allows the full body of the person in the shot to be shown along with a large area of space either side to give the feel of the area too usually used in dramatic scenarios, the leading lines draw in the gaze of the viewer to follow the line this is intended to lead them to what the director wants them to see or not too.
           







Extreme close-up
This shot technique is used specifically for the build-up of tension and occasionally to focus on fine detail.



Mid-shot with evil glare
This is the most common shot in film making as it allows us the see most of the body including the face for expression, and this means it can include conversations and reactions.



Low-shot
the low angle shot creates a sense of power and dominance to the one being looked up to, and the one looking up either appears insignificant feeble or respecting.










Long shot
used in creating distance or for a greater shot of the background it can create any number of effects depending on how its used such as tension if used in a foggy background and a shadowy figure or if in a cathedral it amazes the audience.
