Camera Shots Quiz
This project had us take fifteen shots of a certain subject, an inanimate object, and create a story with just those shots. We were not permitted to use any words to tell the story, other than the ones where we wrote analyses for the shots. We used various shots, such as an establishing shot, mid-shots, close-ups, extreme close-up, long-shot, a POV shot, a high angle shot, a low angle shot, a rule-of-thirds shot, and a few more which we were able to choose freely. These shots were all taken in landscape mode, as this is the more professional style of shots.
For my project, me and my partner made a dramatic storyline of two laptops and a phone. We gave these technologies faces and we created a scenario where the first laptop was infatuated with the phone, and the second laptop was jealous, so he told the first laptop to jump off a cliff. Unexpectedly, he did jump and died from the impact of the fall, surprising the phone and the second laptop.
Although it was hard for these non-living things to have emotions, we did our best to display that they did through facial expressions throughout the story. This helps us understand how each said character feels during a scene and explains it with a visual instead of with words. We chose our shots well, as we placed them in order of the storyline and made sure each shot correlated to the current part of the plot. What we could've done better though, was how we shot the shots. We should've paid more attention to how the shots were perceived from our phone lenses, as some shots may have been slightly tilted non-purposely.
