#10 Camera Shots and Angles Practice

 In this blog, I will be practicing the camera shots and angles I researched in my last blog.  Practicing different shots and angles showed me what I needed to work on before I started filming.

In this picture, I was practicing a long shot. Long shots are full-body shots of a subject. They help capture emotions, body language, and the background. To get this shot I stood a few feet away from Hayden. In the future, for filming I will have to work on lighting since the lighting in this picture is casting a weird shadow on her face. 

In this picture, I was practicing a two-shot. A two-shot captures the emotions of two characters. When I took this shot I decided to stand close to Hayden and Evan so I could capture their emotions in the picture. I will most likely use this a few times in my short film since it is a good way to convey the characters' emotions to the audience.

In this picture, I practiced an over-the-shoulder shot. Over-the-shoulder shots are a good way to show the emotions/reactions of one character during a conversation. In this shot, I stood behind Evan and took a picture of Hayden. When I use this shot in my film I will have my actors stand closer together. I will also switch between which person I'm standing behind so I can capture both sides of the conversation.

In this picture, I practiced a low-angle shot. Low-angle shots make a character seem larger than they actually are. To capture this shot I knelt down on the ground a few feet away from Evan. I still have not decided if I'm going to use this shot in my short film yet but it was a good angle to practice.
