WAYS OF SHARING MY MEDIA WORK









Camera Shots

  • ECU - Extreme Closeup
    The extreme close up is used to reveal very small details in the scene. It might be used to reveal horror in a subject (extreme close up of the subject's mouth as she/he screams). It might also be used in a mystery to show some detail that the detective picks up on or to show some small clue.
  • CU - Close Up
    The close up shot is used to reveal detail. If you are shooting just the head and shoulders of a subject this is a close up.
  • Head and Shoulders
    The head and shoulders shot is used in news broadcasts. If you think about the television news you will realize that this shot reveals enough detail to see the subject's lips move and the expression on her/his face.

  • Bust Shot
    This shot shows your subject from above the knees to above the head. It is often used when the subject of the shot is doing something that requires the audience to see some detail.
  • MS - Medium Shot
    The medium shot is from just below the waist to above the head. There is more headroom than in the bust shot. This show is used if the person is animated with their hand movements, etc.
  • MLS - Medium Long Shot
    Remember in this shot to not cut ther person off at the knees. With this shot, you can still see expression on the persons face, while getting more information from what is going on around the person.

  • LS - Long Shot
    This shot is useful for someone that is walking or moving.
  • ELS - Extra Long Shot
    Also known as the Establish shot, this gives the viewer some perspective as to where the subject is. This is very important if the subject is moving to new locations or times. It lets the viewer know where the video is taking place.
  • 2 Shot
    Two-shots are composed when two people are in the scene and their interaction is important. A two-shot is a good way to introduce a conversation. From the introduction you might cut to an over the shoulder shot of one person talking or a close-up of the other person reacting to what is being said.

  • OS - Over Shoulder
    The over the shoulder shot reveals one subject as seen from over the shoulder of another subject. It simulates a view of the subject as seen from the second person's eyes. This shot is often used in conversations between two people where the dirtector wants to focus on the person speaking. Usually these shots are head shots (close ups of the speaker).

Camera: Close up on individual character eye, Establishing shot and long medium shots

Lighting: the lighting is very dull at the begging, during the begging the lighting is very dull throughout in the background. Dark lighting creates a change in the mood, darkness create suspense and tension, these are attributes that are found in thrillers.

Text: Black background has a great contrast with white font, the style is very ,modern and not really thriller like, doesn't create the theme.

Editing:sharp editing which made the scenes flow, no mistakes were seen due to how good it was done.

Sound:At the start very high pitch then turns quiet fast with different sound effects

PHONE CALL PROJECT

I think I had used a great use of camera shots within this project, mostly due to my steady hands and hard effort. To me there not a lot I could do to make it more interesting and original. The different camera shots used made this project a success. Even though we didn't have the best cameras we used our skills to make our filming most effective, but with a better camera we could of had a better result.

This project was well edited which make it one of the best in our media group,if we spoke higher it would be more clear for the viewer.
