Storyboarding

While in class, we learned about camera angles, shots and techniques. We implemented that knowledge towards creating a storyboard for a 2 minute short film maybe by me and 4 others. 

Camera angles
Low angle shot- used to make someone look as if in a position of power
High angle shot- shows area of vulnerability 
Overhead shot- showing complex movement and scenery, connection to the divine
Dutch shot- creates a sense of unease, magnifies tension
Eye level shot- creates a connection with the audience, shoulder level enhance romantic scenes
Hip level shots- western tension scenes, showcases gun on holster 
Knee level shot- tracking movement through an environment, showcasing character detail
Ground level shot- shows character movement and details on the floor, tension educing 

Camera shots
Wide shot- provides context and shows setting
Full shot- shows character in their entirety 
Medium full shot- to show environment although focus is on character
Medium shot- Similar to how we experience interactions in the real world, waist up
Elbow shot- to display power
Medium waist- to focus on the character
Close up shot- full shot of the character's head
Full close up- used to convey emotion, a shot to shift focus on character's features

We used this new found knowledge to create our storyboard, creating an interesting and visually pleasing horror short.
