63. The Design Idea

64. FILM
LOOKSFor the classroom

65. The Plan:
Learn the 19 shots.
Design, shoot and upload all shots.
A story is not required, but a theme or motif is appreciated.
Drop the shots into whatever app you are editing with.
TITLE each shot with it’s name (e.g. Close up or Bird’s Eye).
Creative use of titles is appreciated.
Export the completed video toVimeo and send me the link.
One period to shoot • One period to edit

66. Pull Back Reveal
Pull Back Reveal- the camera moves backwards to reveal the true
extent of a scene. Can be in different contexts ex: scary or funny.
SHOT 12
Camera

67. Take one shot at a time….

68. Point ofView “POV”
SHOT 15
POV- the audience sees exactly what a character in a film sees. POV can be used to increases the audience’s emotional
attachment to the character onscreen.
A POV shot need not be the strict point-of-view of an actual single character in a film. Sometimes the point-of-view shot
is taken over the shoulder of the character (third person), who remains visible on the screen.
Sometimes a POV shot is "shared" ("dual" or "triple"), i.e. it represents the joint POV of two (or more) characters.
