Camera Angles and Shots Project Blog Post

 Last Friday's assignment I partnered with Khaleb Baptiste to recreate some movie angles and shots. I will be sharing some of the shots we took and my opinions on it.




        


The top image is the POV shot, I took the photo and stuck my fist out, as if I were about to punch him (I of course, did not actually punch him). This felt pretty much like a normal shot, with only the addition of my fist into the frame. The middle shot is the Over the shoulder shot (OTS), In this one, we requested the help of a fellow classmate to stand in front of Khaleb, while I took a picture behind his shoulder. This was a pretty fun one to take a picture of, since it's not a picture you would normally take. Finally, the bottom photo is the low angle, this picture was pretty straightforward to take, I just crouched in front of Khaleb and took a picture looking up at him, I feel that once again you wouldn't really take pictures like this, so it was a pretty interesting angle to shoot.


This assignment overall was pretty fun to do, getting to try the shots in person instead of just writing and seeing them was cool. The pictures themselves were easy to shoot, as they were pretty straightforward, we surprisingly did not run into any major problems until after we finished taking the pictures. I had to make a presentation, which I did on my phone, the problem came after, since you had to submit it as a PowerPoint, so I converted the slides into one, then when I tried to submit, it took forever to upload, and when it did, for some reason none of the slides saved, so I had to retry several times. I had to wait until I got home to submit it, which is when it finally worked, apart from that, no other difficulties were present and I had a great time.

    The shots all convey emotion but the low angle in particular makes the subject look very intimidating.

    The POV shot is well done, showing the person being looked at. The over the shoulder shot is perfectly executed, showing a conversation/interaction between 2 people. The low angle is a good representation of the power and intimidation it is supposed to showcase.

    I believe all of the shots were well executed and conveyed emotion, especially the P.O.V shot which i felt was the best.

    I really liked all your camera shots and how they showed emotions through just a photo. The P.O.V shot is really nice on how its what you would see if you were throwing a punch at someone and it makes me feel like I'm in your body looking through your eyes. The low shot also makes him look big and scary with the photo taken and it feels like he has power.

  We chose the font because it creates a mysterious aura around the film and the corners surrounding the title try to create a older feel and we wanted a simple yet iconic by creating a sleek and thin design . We went with a black background to create a sense of eeriness and fear . We arrived at this decision by talking about what the film is to us , and what it represents and what a physical manifestation of it would look like and we all brought our ideas together and created this title card . this is a prototype we made to get a rough idea of what we wanted it to look like, we then later went back and revisited it and made it look better and more clean.
