#8- CAMERA SHOTS PT2

Welcome back to the blog!

This blog would cover the following shots:

• Wide shot 
• Two-shot
• Aerial shot 
• Point-of-view shot
• Over-the-shoulder shot

Wide shot

    A wide captures everything that happens in a scene. With this shot you can see both the subject and their background. This is used to capture important information or to capture the attitude of a subjects full body reaction. 

Two-shot 

    A two shot has two subjects interacting in a scene. With this scene you can see both of the subjects reactions and the dialogue between them. 

Aerial shot

 

   In an aerial shot you can see everything from a high angle but usually there’s no shadow of the things below. This shots are captured for the audience to see the view of a place from high up.

Point-of-view shot

 

   This shot captures what that character is doing. With this shot you can see how the characters views the world and how it affects the film. 

Over-the-shoulder shot

    An over the shoulder shot is used to capture the reaction of the other characters expressions. This captures a conversation between two subjects. It causes the audience to pay attention to detail of the characters relationship.  

    Overall, this was a good lesson and I learned a lot of things. When taking the pictures I found myself looking for the right timing to make the pictures look good and show the camera shots we leaned about in action. I’m looking forward to learn more about filmmaking in the future.
