Shot Composition activity

Today we set out to do a shot composition activity in order to try out the different shot and angle types with a camera and tripod. These shots were to include, a protagonist (me), an antagonist and a basic construction of narrative.

Establishing shot (Rule of Thirds).

The results were as follows:

Extreme Close up (Rule of Thirds)

Long shot (Backgrounds)

This shot gives the audience a better look at the overall scene by including both the characters and a lot of background.

Long shot (Leading Lines)

Close Up

Close up (same subject)

Over the Shoulder (same subject)

Point of View (same subject)

Low angle

This shot is primarily used on the antagonist in a shot its purpose is to make something, or someone appear to be big and intimidating. 

Welcome to my blog!

Hello, welcome to my blogsite!
My name is Matt Wells and I will be discussing and updating my progress in my AS level media course.
I have a keen interest in the film industry and while I do watch T.V shows and films a lot, I don't know much about what goes into making them. I enjoy watching a good comedy but by far my favourite genre is horror. Any films from the 'Friday the 13th' franchise, to 'The Shining.'
My interests include, almost primarily, football and I'm a keen Liverpool F.C supporter.
I also have an interest in music both listening to a wide range of genres and playing several instruments, mostly the piano.
I look forward to letting out my creative side and attempting to make the most of my time creating my coursework and working on the theory side of the subject.
