Camera Shot Comments

 In the assignment we had to look back at a project we did. We had to look at certain pictures we took for the project and write comments under other people's blogs. We each had to comment on two people's blog posts and the people's blogs that I commented on were Gabriela and Isabella's blog post. We had to comment about the photos they took, how they made me feel, and what I think about them.

In Isabella's post she did 4 different shot angles and some of them were the extreme close up, and the high angle. The extreme close up allowed me to see what the person is going through/ feeling in that shot and focus on what is happening. As it says in the article "Different Camera Angles Create Different Emotions" it says "Close-Ups, which are just focused on a character's face. It helps you feel whatever they are feeling." This is not exactly talking about an extreme close up but it does have a similar purpose which is to see what the character is feeling but the extreme close up goes closer so you can see more details on the characters face and see their emotions and expressions better. The high angle conveyed that the person that we are looking down on is smaller and weak. In the same article it states that "High angle camera views are elevated and can show a unique perspective. It can make you feel like the characters are less significant or that we are just onlookers, not really involved in the emotion of the movie yet." The article goes more into detail about the high angle but this piece explains what it is in general and what it can make the viewer feel like how the picture in the project makes the person seem by the camera angle.

In Gabriela's post she did 3 different shots but one of the shots was the over the shoulder shot. In  this picture the shot showed the relationship between two people because they are laughing and having a good time. In the article it says "..you can feel as though you're experiencing the scene with that person. It can also show you how close the characters are". This piece of the article explains the same thing I was saying earlier, when looking at the picture it allows you to see the relationship between both people and the scene did let me feel as if I was there.

Finished Project Feelings

Write about issues you had during your project and how you fixed them.    - While making our movie we went through a couple challenges. The first challenge was procrastination. We waited a while to start which was not good but since the due date was getting closer we finally began doing it. The next challenge was getting together but we fixed it by deciding how to split up the work and making sure we all did equal work.  Write about changes that had to be made within your story.    - The one change that was made was the location of the story. In the beginning, we planned to do it at a camp but then we changed it to be at a house. Write about things that you learned during the process of your project.    - During the entire process of making our movie I learned how to edit and how to do time management. I learned how to edit after downloading CapCut and playing around with it to figure out all of the buttons. I learned how to manage my time better becau...
