Shot Types

In this lesson we were told to test out different camera shots.We also had to try and put a storyline to them with.

Establishing shot

This is a establishing shot which is used to set the scene to show where the show is taking place.  The shot would be used during the start of the act to make it clear to the audience where it is taking place, which is shown to be a school

Close up

This is a close up to show how the character is feeling in the current situation and what they may be thinking. In this part of the act the camera shot is used to show that they are trying to hide from the bully and that they are worried what may happen if they are found.   

Long shot

      This is a long shot to show the characters at distance. In this shot the bully is chasing after the victim. This camera angle suits this time in the act is because it shows there whole body and the area that surrounds them. 

Shot/Reverse shot

Shot/Reverse shot

      

      These are both shot/reverse shots which shows conversations between characters. In this part of the act this shows the bully using verbal abuse towards the victim, where the bully is snickering. However the victim is very upset.  

Extreme close up

      This is a extreme close up which is used to show important detail. In this shot it shows an extreme close up of a gesture which is key to the act. In the shot it shows the collision of a fist to a cheek which means the bully has punched the victim. 

Tilt shot

      This is a tilt shot is used to show movement in this act. This shot is used to show that the victim has fallen after being punched by the bully.  

Low shot

  This is a low shot which is used to show a intimidating character and to show power. It is being used in this part of the act to show that the bully has won and got what they wanted from the victim.  I think this because the angle makes it look as though the bully is above everybody else.
