Shot types

-
Medium
Over- shoulder
Close up
Wide
Medium, close up
Establishing
Extreme close up
(Cutaway)
Longshot
180-degree rule
High angle
Low angle
Extreme long shot
Aerial
Birdseye
(pano)
Depth of field
Dutch tilt
(dolly zoom)
I found all these shot types and have been inspired by them to use in future films and for a current short film that I am making (3.2). I am a big fan of the low and high angle shots because they tell a story. By this, I mean that they show how a character feels with intimidation on the low angle looking up and then the way the high angle looking down displays how the other character feels. This could be interesting because you could use a two-shot or a medium shot to show more than one person being intimidated or providing the argument.


New shots to me


Noddy Shot
For interviews/vox pops or when you want a shot intensely on a character










Weather shot
A shot of the sky, or background that would be an establishing shot if characters weren’t in front of it






Two shot
A shot for interviews or vox pops or even movies of two people side by side, similar to mid shot.














Mid shot
Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject. These are quite common.

PITCH FEEDBACK

Opinion from pitch My pitch was great! I know that I must be more vigilant and thoroughly plan my project out, and I will up my game to aim for the Distinction grade. I know it went well because I knew my point was getting across. The point of this film is the fact that the 'Caterham' is an under-rated underdog supercar that people have overlooked. Or just simply that people don't know about it. So I will teach them not just about the car but the community and the whole prospectus. I knew this was getting across since my presentation was explaining it. Ed told me that my presentation was good so I could tell he knew what I wanted to do. I told him about the community and it says in my presentation that it exists. I hadn't told him statistics yet since I am saving that for my film. I wish that I could have done a whole presentation with a projector and standing up I feel that it would have run smoother instead of me sitting down and talking about it. If I am ever to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKNi9IYfMTc In my 60 second video, I chose to go with tension as my genre. I haven't tried tension and it was something I wanted to do. I liked making this film but at the start, I was aiming for a comedy and I guess it is a bit of both.  From target 3.1 I learned new and interesting shot types such as, a low angle looking up and the high angle looking down which are great to use because they show how a character is feeling. For example, the low angle looking up can show that a character is feeling intimidated and a high angle looking down is the person providing the argument. I learned this through watching 'A few good men" in the "You can't handle the truth" scene.  In my film, I use the low angle facing up to the girl so the guy in the chair was feeling intimidated. This gives my film a twist because you don't expect the guy in the chair to be intimidated since he is giving the girl orders. I tried to crea

Feedback

For the product assessment, I have asked 4 people to write a short paragraph stating what was good and bad about my film and what I could change. I did this not only because the brief requires it but out of personal interest to see what people made of my film. I was very intrigued by what they thought of it and not for them to just say 'good' but go into detail and perhaps pick my film apart. This method has definitely proven worthy in the past as I have had much feedback on previous short films explaining not only what was wrong but why it was wrong which helped me learn a great deal about me as a director and learn a lot more about my film. I have learned many valuable lessons such as; 'Always keep your target audience in mind' and 'keep the camera work as smooth as possible if it's a crucial scene.' It is things like this that teach me and allow me to be a better director in the future. I definitely did keep my target audience in mind while making th
