Camera Angles - Post 8

 Camera Angles


The information I learned was from a video on YouTube by StudioBinder called, "Ultimate Guide to Camera Angles: Every Camera Shot Explained [Shot List, Ep. 3]" 
  • Low angle shot - A shot that lines up below a subject's eye line looking up at them. They are used to usually give the subject in the shot a feeling of power.
  • High angle shot - A shot that has the frame looking down upon a subject or crowd, and is typically used to diminish a character and to emphasize the level of power between subjects.
  • Overhead angle - A shot above the subject reaching directly 90 degrees and shoots straight down. These angles are a good use of revealing complex movements like battles and capture details of the setting the subject is in.
  • Dutch angle - A shot that "skews" the horizontal frame for a tilted affect. It can create the feeling of unease, bewilderment, terror, etc.
  • Eye level angle -  A neutral view of the subject is created and doesn't impose judgement like high or low angles. This angle is most regarded as natural for the audience since this is the level at which we interact with others daily.
  • Shoulder level angle - This shot has similar effects as the eye level angle and are used often during conversations between characters, to reveal height differences, and for romantic/affectionate scenes.

Failed Attempt - Post 25

  This was my first attempt at making my preliminary video. I recorded this on December 5th, 2020.

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
