Film Language: Camera angles and shot size introduction for Film Studies. Als...Ian Moreno-Melgar
A long PDF that has been used to introduce GCSE Film Students to the complicated process of identifying and explaining the use of camera shot sizes and angles. This is a fairly detailed series of slides which I have used in school for a couple of classes now. As it is a PDF the clips do not play but where possible I've labelled what the film is. Similarly, as it was designed to be used in lessons the overall 'structure' is somewhat disjointed and is missing slides that includes answers or ideas that were discussed in lessons. In order to help where possible, I've included large versions of worksheets so that these can be clipped and printed out if necessary. Many thanks for taking a look and please feel free to take a look at my other uploads as you will find plenty there on other aspects of Film Studies.

For seven years after the Kent State shootings, many liberals, for instance, struggled for accountability for the deaths and injuries of 1970, not because of the economic and political ramifications of the event perceived by radicals, but from a deep sense that human rights on that occasion had been denied. The Vietnam War. Her father was in the U.S. air force. This caused them to move around a lot giving her imagination and wider horizons. The culture of Rolling Stone magazine and their focus on rock n’ roll.
5. Influences of the Art World 1991 photo of pregnant Demi Moore changed public opinion about showing or hiding one’s pregnancy Rolling Stones and the Rock n’ roll world had an enormous influence on her. Photographers such as Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson
6. Stylistic Traits Leibovitz collaborates the photographer and the subject. She makes a deep connection between them. Mood and Tone - She uses emotional aspects through her pieces whether they may be happy, despair, lonely, ect. They leave great impact on the viewer and effects how they see the photograph. Perspective – She uses her camera to take photographs through many different views. From beneath, from straight above, at an angle, up close, far away, ect. Texture – Leibovitz takes simple objects or people and looks deeper at them. From each hair, to each wrinkle, to each speck of concrete, you can see every detail. Color – She uses color to convey many different ideas. For example, in the shot of Whoopi Goldberg, the contrast between her skin and the tub of milk she is jumping out of.
7. Kate Moss(2009) Texture – The texture of the dress makes the picture come alive. The texture of the skirt is contrasted against the walls in the back round and the rug on the floor. Shape – The shape of the skirt and the silhouette of her body and the dress gives the picture a good balance and embodiment. Color – the light color of the dress contrasts with the red couch and brown carpet and walls. Lighting – The lighting in the photo attracts and focuses your attention towards her face and the skirt of the dress.
8. Fallen Bicycle of Teenage Boy Just Killed by a Sniper/ Bloody Bicycle(1994) Mood and Tone – This photo was take during a war in Sarajevo. This mood of this photograph is deeply sad and haunting. The absent rider is the shocking reminder that the circumstances of death are the ultimate unpredictability of life. Color- What also makes us think about this photo is the lack of color. This photograph is shot in black and white. Do pictures of war need to be nasty for us to feel, to get the point? There is no shocking red blood. Balance– The bicycle to the right and the blood stains to the left make this photograph harmonize. Emphasis- The simplicity of the blood and bicycle give great impact on the veiwer.
9. Willie Nelson(2001) Texture– You can see every detail of Nelson. Every hair and every wrinkle is visible. This makes this 2-dimensional photograph look almost 3-dimensional. It makes the picture come alive. Perspective– This photo is taken as an up close portrait of the side veiw of Willie Nelson’s face. This makes the photo more intriguing than if it was straight on. Depth Of Field – The foreground is more in focus than the backround. This makes your eye’s focus in more on the foreground and isolates it. Tone– The contrast of the details being very white to the blacks and the grays in between also add a feel of 3-dimension.
10. Original Artwork Mood & Tone – The photographs that I have taken use emotion to convey ideas just like Annie Leibovitz’s artwork. Texture – In my photographs, the texture of hair, concrete, ect. Is used to add depth to the pictures. Color – Color is used my photographs to add emphasis to the pictures. Perspective – Many different views are shown throughout these pictures. They add meaning and interest to the photographs.
11. Conclusion “The camera gave you this license to walk around, and you’d be alone in the world but, you know you were there with a purpose” Annie Leibovitz created some of the most enduring images throughout this time period. She is definitely a legendary photography and will be remembered for a long while.
