Preliminary Exercise 8: Practicing Camerawork Day 1

Introduction: camera work is the photography produced by a camera and especially a motion-picture, video, or television camera and the reason it's important is because it allows for the audience to feel certain emotion or feeling throughout framing angles and composition.  the 4 major categories to consider when planning the camera shots: shot size, camera angles, framing, and composition. Shot size refers to the size of the frame relative to its content. Basically, the shot size defines how much of your subject or setting is shown in the individual shots. An example of shot size is an establishing shot which focuses on the entire background and scenery of the setting. Camera angle or a shot angle is dictated by where the camera is placed in relation to the character or subject. an example of a camera angle would be a shoulder level shot where the camera is getting the characters upper body in the frame. Camera framing is the placement and position of the subjects in your shots. Shots are all about composition. An example of camera framing would be an insert shot where a specific object or part of someone's body is being fully focused on. And finally, composition which is the arrangement of visual information within a camera frame. An example of composition would be asymmetrical balance. The person who's in charge of camera work in a movie is called a cinematographer. An example of a famous cinematographer would be Sharon Meir who help filmed and produce the hit movie "whiplash". The reason developing these skills would be important is because it would help us connect with the intended audience better by asking them feel what we want them to feel from our movie.

Reflection: In this blog my team and I had to work as a group to take 16 different shots. In this assignment we got to learn how to get the angle rights and to put what we learned into practice. we each took our paper to make our storyboards and when we finished drawing, we were able to take most of our pictures in the classroom. Taking the pictures were easier than it seemed because having a storyboard that good helped us finish quickly. We didn't really need to use a complicated storyline for the action lines. We accomplished our goals at the end, and everything ended up how they were suppose to and I am really proud of us for doing it that way. In this blog no tools were used besides google to research the definitions.
