Week 2- getting started with camera angles

 

This is a dolly shot of my brother that I took when I was on crutches. After viewing the film I realized that I was a bit shaky because it was hard for me to record while ,moving forward on crutches. A dolly shot is a moving shot that is accomplished by moving the camera as if it was on a set of tracks. This shot was taken inside of my community.

This shot is called a two-shot. A two-shot is a medium or close shot that is wide enough for two people that is often used to film a conversation. This shot shows two of my classmates having a conversation after they finished all of their classwork.

This shot was filmed as a low-angle shot. A low-angle shot is a shot filmed down low that is often looking up at the subject(s). In this shot I placed my phone on the floor tilted at a slight upward angle. I took a shot of my classmate Kevin using his phone.

This shot is a cameo shot. A cameo shot is a shot in which the subject is filmed against a black or neutral background. As seen in the film, I took a shot of my brother standing on a wall that was all the same color (neutral background).

This shot was an extreme close-up. An extreme close-up shot is a magnified shot o a small detail, such as a subject's eyes. This shot was taken by my classmate Kevin. Kevin is recording my eye with the camera fully zoomed.

This shot is called a "Choker". A choker shot is a tight close-up usually only showing a subjects face. For this shot I recorded my brother leaning on a wall only showing his face.

This shot is an establishing shot. An establishing shot is a long shot that shows location and mood. I took this shot of my brother standing in front of a lake in my community while the sun was starting to set.

This shot was a close-up (CU). A close-up shot is a shot of an isolated part of a subject or object, such as the head or hand. As seen in the shot, I filmed my brothers hand for a few seconds.

This shot was a high angle shot. A high angle shot is a shot filmed from high above the subject. In this shot I stood on top of a chair while my bother was walking.

This shot was a freeze frame. A freeze frame is a shot that results from repeating the same frame so the subject appears frozen. In this shot my brother tried to act frozen while I recorded him for a few seconds.
