18. Types Of Shots
We decided that the theme of our promotional film would
be a love triangle. To portray this we feel that we need to
use a variety of shots to accurately capture the emotion.
The shots we will use:
~ A close-upcontains just one character's face. This
enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions and
also allows them to feel empathy for the character. This is
also known as a personal shot.
~ A mid shotcontains the characters or a character from
the waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the
characters' faces more clearly as well as their interaction
with other characters. This is also known as a social shot.
~ A full shot contains a complete view of the characters.
From this shot, viewers can take in the costumes of
characters and may also help to demonstrate the
relationships between characters.
19. Types Of Camera Angles And Movements
Camera angles also play a big part in portraying a
character on screen.
The camera angles we will use are:
~ An eye-level angle puts the audience on an equal
footing with the characters. This is the most commonly
used angle in most films as it allows the viewers to feel
comfortable with the characters.
~ A tracking shot and a dolly shot have the same effect.
A tracking shot moves on tracks and a dolly shot is
mounted on a trolley to achieve the effect in the example
above. This camera movement is used in a number of ways
but is most commonly used to explore a room such as a
restaurant. By using a tracking shot or a dolly shot the
composer of a film gives the viewer a detailed tour of a
situation. It can also be used to follow a character.
~ Panningis used to give the viewer a panoramic view of
a set or setting. This can be used to establish a scene.
20. Editing Style
We wanted our editing style to be quite whimsical, but
have a few shots which use darker colors to provide a
contrast. This would also make the different style of photos
more obvious, while also making them stand out.
We decided to make sure that in some shots we would
have the base white, so increase the exposure, while on
other shots we would make the base grey, which means to
decrease the contrast and exposure.
Since our location didn’t offer much in terms of colorful
lights, we thought adding different colored light leaks
would give our photos a more eccentric taste.
