Preliminary Exercise: Storyboard Worksheet #2 Camera Composition

Camera composition is the way a film a scene or film is arranged. One of the shots in camera composition is rule of thirds. A rule of thirds shot divides the frame into thirds vertically and horizontally. A symmetry balance shot includes a subject that is at the center of the shot. An asymmetrical balance shot is when a frame has different visual weights that still balance out the shot. A leading lines shot has invisible lines that direct the viewer's attention. A shape shot shows how far each character is positioned within a scene. A deep focus shot is when the subject and its surrounding environment is in focus. Shallow focus is when the camera has the subject as the only focal point in a scene, while the rest is blurred.

In the assignment above, me and my team were supposed to identify camera composition and its elements. As you can see, me and my team were incorrect in identifying what camera composition is. At the time, me and my team were struggling with the topic for some time. However, the more we studied the topic the more comfortable we became with it.

At the same time, it can demonstrate how lonely the character is too as well. It can show how lonesome the character is.

Camera Angles Slide PowerPoint Presentation

The last time that I did a post on camera angles, it was on a storyboard. Me and my team had to draw pictures of different camera angles. What makes this post different is that this time we had to take pictures and put them on a slide presentation. Me and my team had fun taking pictures and utilizing them in the most creative way possible. Moreover, in the process, we learned more about camera angles and their significance to film and photography, in general. The slide above was about a low-level shot. We talked about the meaning and significance of a low-level shot. By the way, the person we used in the picture tried his hardest to not break character. The shot had to be retaken at least three to four times. Moreover, we used a story about a student bumping into a taller student as a way of making the shot make sense. Moreover, in the slide above, we did an eye-level shot. In this slide, we talked about the meaning and significance of an eye-level shot. Moreo...
