Objective: The goal of this assignment was to take still photos of the shots planned in our storyboards. Along with taking the still photos, they had to be uploaded into an organizer with a definition, two purposes, an action line, genre, and three adjectives describing the shot. The shots were spilt into four sections consisting of shot sizes, angles, framing, and composition meaning we had to take over 32 pictures in total.
Section Four: Camera Composition
- The Rule of Thirds Shot #1,
- Symmetry Shot #2,
- Asymmetry Shot #3,
- Point Shot #4
- Leading lines Shot #5,
- Shapes Shot (geometric, organic, and irregular/ abstract shapes) (your choice) #6,
- Deep Focus Shot #7
- Shallow Focus (Foreground In-Focus and background Out-of-Focus Shot) #8
- Shallow Focus (Background In Focus and foreground Out-of-Focus Shot) #9
Out of the 9 shots taken, the two I found to be the best were the symmetry and extreme deep focus shot.
Symmetry shots bring satisfaction to the human eye. It creates a sense of balance and aesthetic.
Deep focus shots also establish mise en scene. This shot is prefect for creating a story between the foreground and background.
Reflection: This assignment was not only helpful, but fun. The assignment was less writing and more taking pictures correlating to the shots. We got to go outside, walk around, and get preview for how filming the short film is going to be. Working with my team member, Ale, was also a good experience since he was the model for most of the shots while I held the camera and took the pictures. This assignment gave me a better understanding on which shots work best in specific genres, like how extreme close up works with horror.
