During one of our lessons we got to work in groups of 3. we were told to go round the school taking the new shot types that we had learned and practicing our skills. My group and I set to work quickly as we understood what the camera shots were and what they were used for. Here are our camera shots.

 This shot is a low angle shot. This is mainly used to show a character as being powerful and intimidating. we used this shot type because we wanted to show the person in the yellow T-shirt as being powerful and hurting the other person in the shot.

This shot is an attempt at the Rule of thirds shot type. This is where the the screen is split into 9 boxes (3 up, 3 across) mainly used with a grid and you specifically focus on what is in each box. the effect this can have is isolation and loneliness.

  This shot type is a two shot. A two shot is where there are two people in the shot. we used this shot to show the person on the right telling me something and pointing at the thing that he is talking about.

    The first of our many shots was a Long shot. This shot is used to show the actor and his/her's surroundings. In this shot I am walking down the corridors and the shot has been used to show me walking the corridors possibly searching for something or someone

This is the over the shoulder shot that we took. This shot is used to show the actor usually talking or trying to intimidate someone else. My group was using the over the shoulder shot to show how i'm trying to intimidate the other person but they weren't being intimidated and was instead smiling and almost laughing in my face.

This shot is a canted angle shot (tilt shot). These are used to show speed and quick movement in one shot. the reason we have used this is to show how I am quickly moving towards the person in the yellow top.

This shot is a mid-shot. This is used to show a persons top half and show the emotion, for instance in this shot you can see my clenched fist as I am ready to punch the person in the yellow top, you can also see the emotion on the person in the yellow's face and see his ridged stance.

This shot is a extreme close up. This is used to focus on one specific part of the body or one specific item e.g hand, foot, eye and mouth. we used this shot to close in on his eye to show the fear.

next lesson we will be looking at filming an action sequence (knife fight)
