 Camera Shots Quiz

For my very first filming assignment, me and my partner had to create a story with only 15 shots with a few belongings inside out backpacks. We decided to create a story about a pair of glasses who tries to eat a box of muffins, but the muffins are being gaurded by a pencil.

Behind the Scenes

When me and my partner were planning my 15 shot movie, I wanted to make sure each shot told part of the story, and we tried to make sure to do so through the different camera angles and shots. I started with an establishing extreme long shot to set the scene of the movie and began to slowly move closer to characters by using long and medium shots. As conflict between the characters started, I used a dutch angle to show and build tension between the glasses and the donuts. I also used close-ups, high angles, and over-the-shoulder shots to create rivalry between the pencil and the glasses. The final shots showed the drama and the sad ending in which the glasses ended up defeating the pencil for sweet treat.

Reflection

One thing me and my partner did good was making sure each shot had a purpose to the plot of the story. For example, the dutch angle and high angles emphasized the tensions between the characters and allows the audience to see which character has control. The POV shots also helped the movie be more inclusive for the audience making it feel like the viewer is apart of the movie.

However, I had to improve some parts of my project. Some of the shots would have to be smoother cut so that the narrative would be more unified. I should also spend longer using different lighting and framing to create a more exceptional visual. using differing emotions would also solve the problem by changing up the mood.
