Use Of The Camera (Camera Techniques Exercise)

USE OF THE CAMERA

IN THIS FILM WE WERE TRYING TO SHOW A CASUAL CONVERSATION BETWEEN TO FRIENDS, I NAMED IT "NOT INTERESTING INTERESTS" BECAUSE THE TOPICS THAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT WERE NOT VERY INTERESTING. THE SHOTS THAT WE INCLUDED IN OUR FILM WERE; WIDE SHOT, MEDIUM SHOT, OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT, WE ALSO USED THE PANORAMA CAMERA MOVEMENT AT THE BEGINNING. 

    

AT THE BEGINNING WE USED AN ESTABLISHING SHOT TO SHOW THE SETTING OF WHERE THE FILM IS MADE. I USED THE OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT IN THE CONVERSATION TO FOCUS ON THE PERSON WHO IS TALKING, WE USED THE WIDE SHOT AT THE END TO ADD EMPHASIS ON THE ENDING. MOST SHOTS WERE SHOT ON A TRIPOD WHCIH MADE SURE THAT THE SHOTS WERE STILL, OUR LAST SCENE WHERE THEY ARE WALKING AWAY FORM EACH OTHER WAS A BIT SHAKY BECAUSE IT WAS FILMED BY HAND AS THE TRIPOD WAS NOT TALL ENOUGH TO FILL WITH. 

I THINK THAT MOST OF OUR SHOTS WERE FRAMED APPROPRIATELY BECAUSE THE FRAMES HAD THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS IN THEM.

IN MY OPINION THE MOST POSITIVE ELEMENT OF OUR FILM IS THE ESTABLISHING SHOT BECAUSE IT INTRODUCED THE LOCATION OF WHERE THEY HAVE THE CONVERSATION. TO IMPROVE I THINK WE WOULD NEED TO FOCUS ON INCLUDING MORE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHOTS AND TRYING TO GET ALL OUR SHOTS TO BE STILL.
