RECREATING SHOTS

RECREATING SHOTS:-

 

We were given a task set by our teachers to re-create these professional shot which were taken from movies.This was done before our primry task as it helped us to identify what shots we needed to use thorugh filming AND being more comfortable with my recreating shots are quite good beacuse they are quite similar.

180-DEGREE RULE

180 DEGREE RULE :-

In film making the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of the axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round.

The object that is being filmed must always remain in the centre while the camera must always face towards the object. 

TRANSITIONS

Transitions:-

shot reverse shot is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. It is shown looking back at the character are showing face in opposite directions.

Fade:- Fades the shot to  single colour usually black and white. The fade to black and fade from black are ubiquitous in film and television. They usually signal the beginning and end of scenes.

Fades can be used between shots to create a sort of cross fade which for example fades briefly to white before fading to the next shot. 

Camera angles

Camera Angles:-

The term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed. Some people use it to include all camera shot types

, others use it to specifically mean the angle between the camera and the subject.

1 . Extreme long shot

 An extreme long shot is a view from an even greater distance, in which people appear as small dots in the landscape if at all

The extreme long shot shown in the picture  is taken from a distance, but denotes a precise location - it might even connote all of the entertainment industry if used as the opening shot in a news story.

2. Long Shot

It is a camera shot taken at a relatively great distance from the subject and permitting a broad view of a scene.

 

3. Medium Shot

It is a camera shot in which the subject is in the middle distance, permitting some of the background to be seen.

 

4. Close-Up

In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face. A close-up of a person emphasizes their emotional state. 

5. Extreme Close-Up

Extreme close-up gets right in and shows extreme detail.

You would normally need a specific reason to get this close. It is too close to show general reactions or emotion except in very dramatic scenes.
