Camera Shots - Post 5

 Camera Shots


In class we learned about something called camera shots for a film. The video is from YouTube titled, "Ultimate Guide to Camera Shots: Every Shot Size Explained [The Shot List, Ep 1]" by StudioBinder
 
Some of the shots I learned include: 
  1. Establishing Shot - Establishes the geography, time of day, and can be used as a transition.
  2. Master Shot - Clarifies the characters in the scene and their relationship.
  3. Wide Shot - Represents the relationship between the character and the environment.
  4. Full Shot - Used to observe the character's body language, posture, and clothing from head to toe.
  5. Medium Full Shot - Shows the top of the head to below the waist; uses complementary angles and can showcase a strong, confrontational presence of the character.
  6. Medium Shot - A neutral shot that is neither dramatic or too far. It represents the character like how we casually interact with others. Starts from the head to below the chest but above the waist.
  7. Medium Close-up Shot - Prioritizing the character's details and reduces distractions by revealing the character's head to mid-chest.
  8. Close-up Shot - Emphasizes the character's feelings, emotions, and reactions to situations by zooming onto their face at eye-level.
  9. Extreme Close-up Shot - Isolates the area by focusing on the subject very closely. It can also highlight something very crucial to the narrative.

Failed Attempt - Post 25

This was created entirely on a whim without much discussion and planning (which is very evident).  Although I'd say the camera shots and movements were decent, but the plot, acting, and execution were subpar in my opinion. My peers also agreed when I showed them the video that I could've done a better film opening, and that's when I decided to take it more seriously and redo everything from scratch.

Creative Critical Reflection 3 - Post 41

 -  How did your production skills develop throughout this project? CCR 3 - Jadan Cedeno.pptx Throughout this project, for my draft and final film production, I used two different mobile editing apps for my phone. For my draft, I used VivaCut and for my final I used CapCut. I transitioned because I wanted to used an editing app that doesn't include their watermark or logo in the corner throughout the whole film video, so CapCut was the best choice. Due to my past experience editing, using the new app wasn't difficult at all; very simple.  As for my skills, I can see my development when comparing my two film videos. In my draft, I just shot it by the textbook and wasn't very considerate of important factors like setting and props. I directed a film opening that can be considered as criminal/mafia, yet, the settings, props, costumes, and mise en scene in general did not fit the match. It's evident that I only went for the story but not the story-telling. I believe my came
