9/14 - Camera Angles
Point of View: This shot was very fun to film, it was my first try filming a camera shot and I tried to make it seem vaguely horror, like the character is being chased by something and turns around at the end to see if what's following him is still there.
Pan: This one perhaps my least favorite shot, as I really had no idea what to do for this one and ended up deciding to just pan the camera around the red awning a bit. Unlike some of the other shots, I wasn't really inspired to do anything special with it and in the end I just did it to get it over with.
Dutch Angle Shot: This was one of my less favorite shots, I really wasn't sure at all what to do for the Dutch Angle so I thought of the camera looking at an object (in this case a random safety sign) and tilting to signify an eerie mood change.
Low Angle: For this shot I was originally going to make it the Dutch Angle, but I felt that Low Angle fit much better for the scene of the camera getting up, supposedly from a character being knocked to the ground, and then looking up at the daunting staircase.
High Angle: For High Angle I decided to film the best thing I could, that being my dog, Lola.
Tracking Shot: This shot I had planned for a bit, following my dog as she walks through the house, and I knew it would be hard and I would probably only have one shot to get it since she does not comply much and generally liked to just lay down and do nothing all day. Luckily, I managed to get it on the first try and I think it came out great.
Fixed Shot: This shot was one of my favorite to film. It was difficult setting up the phone to stay still but I got it to balance on the ground by the stairs, then had to shoot myself running down and falling quite a few times before I got one I was happy with, and on the final shot I decided while filming it to look back, as if I'm being chased by something and am looking to see if it's still there.
Close Up Shot: This shot was a bit difficult, since whenever I zoomed in even the slightest movement of my phone would make the camera super shaky. I ended up having to push it up against the window in order to keep it still, and while it still shook a bit I managed to find a way to get the Close Up shot with a fairly stable camera.
Two Shot: This shot was fun to make, getting 2 of my classmates to act out a scene of them talking to each other, and in the end it came out good.
Arc Shot: This was perhaps my favorite, and I was originally trying to make a tracking shot following the duck falling down, but as soon as I realized it was impossible to keep up with a rapidly moving duck I decided instead to make an arc shot. The end result was spectacular, a tragic scene of a duck plummeting to its death, as the camera slowly moves around it and captures its lifeless body.
