ೃ⁀➷SPECIFIC CAMERA SHOTS AND ANGLES*ೃ༄

 

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about the camera shots and angles in my groups film opening.

The first camera shot I will be talking about from my project is the CLOSE-UP. The first time this is seen is during the candle lighting scene, and is used in many other scenes, such as the title sequence, the scenes of the characters flipping over their cards, and the characters reacting to their cards. We chose to use these scenes because we want the audience's attention to be focused on specifically the subjects in these scenes. With this, the audience will not be confused on why the character is reacting that way, or wonder what card they get during the montage. It is also used to emphasize certain things in our movie, such as the slamming of the cards and me saying "Let's play mafia" This makes the slap of the cards emphasized to the audience.

The next camera angle I will be talking about from my film opening is the OVERHEAD SHOT. This camera angle is used when my character is passing out the cards to everyone. We chose this camera angle because we wanted the audience to see the entire group. This angle also emphasizes the set of the movie, and enhances the setting of the sleepover. The viewer gets to see all of the blankets on the floor, and the audience gets the reminder that the characters are just teenage girls having a fun sleepover.

The next camera shot, and the most used camera shot in our film is the mid shot. This shot is used in most scenes, such as when Zara was choosing who to kill, or when the characters are simply talking to one another. This shot is used to make the audience feel as if they are in the sleepover with the characters. This also makes the audience focus on the characters body language.
