Camera Shots and Rules

    

   

• This is a picture of a two year old Indian girl demonstrating a Close up camera angle  

•  This shot illustrates the cheesy but cute smile this infant is showing, this can be also known as an "awwww shot".   

•  This picture has been perfectly taken as the pictures has been centered properly.

• The image also captures the background but not to much of it meaning the picture is an accurate for a close up shot.

•  This is a Noddy Shot, this can show the background allowing the scene to be  as important as the character.

• The character doesn't just attract the viewer but the background is noticed to see what is going on in the scene.

• This Noddy Shot is clearly shown by the character and  displays the background and interests the audience into what might happen behind her. 

Photoshop Evaluation

As this was my first time in using photoshop, this task was very interesting and made me think about how pictures can be adjusted and changed in order to please the viewers needs. This made me wonder when photoshop may be used on a general basis, this could be used on images such as Magazines, brushing up on the image and also movie posters, making them more Gothic and sinister or making it brighter and jubilant for the viewer to see. 


In the first lesson of using photoshop we had been given a photo of a two men hiking in a mountain range, the photo was dark and the task was to brighten the picture using the photoshop tools. With this task we were to use the Feather tool and also refining the colour to make the image brighter. Photoshop made the difference as the colour refining was an essential tool for this image, this was one of the first steps of many for the use of photoshop.


The second task was to layer images on each other as there was one image of a teenage girl and a black background image, the task was to blend both images together leaving you with a merge of the teenage girl and the black background. This was a valuable tool as this helped me understand the different techniques of blending and merging two photos together t make one photo more interesting and attractable.

This task taught me how to use photoshop correctly and also this allowed me to adjust and crop photos to my liking. This  was a very valuable lesson and will be using this program more often.

Interesting Photo

• This image is an image of Will Smith and Gene Hackman, as this is a side on camera shot and is them discussing something, as there expressions tell that there annoyed and frustrated. 
• This Mis-en-scene shows there discussion being a a tense and anxious place, by the posture of the two men and the expressions on their face show that there is trouble. 
• The background light shows that the two men are more important, as the white background make the men stand out relating to the importance of the conversation.
• The side shot shows more importance to the men's conversation and giving the effect of suspense and anticipation, these two men standing here in this scene show their key importance in this film and the scene.

Camera Work Evaluation

The Camera Work Task was our interpretation of the final movie scene 'The Good, the bad and the ugly'. The task was to show our view of the final scene and try to copy it, we also had to show the different camera shots in the final scene. The skill that I had learnt during this task were all the different camera angle shots such as extreme close up, close up, mid shot, long shot etc. These camera shots helped me understand all the shots directors would have to think of before shooting for a scene. If we were to complete this task again we as a group would try to show many more different types of camera shots which would show our understanding of the task overall.

Evaluation: Picture Cropping Task

The picture cropping task was a very productive task that benefited our skills of analysing pictures and cropped using specific software on apple macs. As this task didn't consist of much work it didn't take long to understand the program. As the hard part of the task was to think of a headline this left enough time to leave a caption of what we thought about the image. If i were to complete this task again i would adjust the size of the image only cropping the important part, i would also change the headline and the caption perhaps elaborating about it.

Enemy Of The State Assessment

1. The range of camera shots and the background music, built up the tension and suspense. Camera shots such as close ups, extreme close ups, mid shots and long shots gives the scene a tense atmosphere. this scene also uses dramatically music  giving the influence of an edgy and anxious feeling. The atmosphere such as lighting and cutting back and forth to the men breaking in and Will Smith and Gene Hackman gives the scene a more eye catching feel to it. The point of the sequence is to grab the audiences attention to make them feel at the edge of their seat.

2. This shot shows the extreme close up on Will Smiths face also portraying his feelings and emotions allowing the scene to build in suspense, as this close up signifies the emotions of the character and also maintains the tense and anxious atmosphere. As the lighting in the room gives the feeling of gloom and sorrow luring the readers attention.

3. I chose 1:50 - 2:10, this clip starts of with the men with guns, the camera starts off at their feet as they are about to go into the room Will Smith and Gene Hackman are in. As they are cutting to and from the characters this jumping helps build the scene. There are many camera angle shots which create the tension and suspense such as the close up of Gene Hackman and the foot shot at the beginning of the men with guns.

4. The editing of the sequence fits in with the thriller genre as the setting of the scene and the fast paced camera shots allows the suspense to build up giving the sense of a thriller genre.
