Camera Shots

Welcome back to Jacquelle's Journal, and today I applied what I learned to create five distinct videos utilizing five different camera perspectives. It was an interesting experience because it was my first time filming, but I believe I did a decent job.

Shot #1~ POV (Point of view)

Purpose of the shot~ The POV shot is employed to allow the viewer to experience the world through the eyes of the character. The rain hitting the glasses in the film enables the viewer to see what the individual in the video is going through. Because of the melancholy atmosphere it generates, the rain creates a sensation of gloom. It almost looks as if the person in the video is crying. 

Shot #2~ Low shot 

Purpose of the shot~ The purpose of the low shot is to make the subject look strong. The low shot conveys a sense of loneliness since the character in the video is heading up the stairs alone as a group of teenagers walks on the opposite side of the stairs.

Shot #3~ POV (Point of view)

Purpose of the shot~ The POV shot allows the viewer to see the world through the character's eyes. In the video, the lady looks to be appreciating the flowers and her surroundings. This produces a sense of euphoria.

Shot #4~ High angle shot 

Purpose of the shot~ The objective of the high angle view is to make the person in the video appear smaller. As the person in the video walks along the path with her head down, the high shot gives a sense of loneliness.

Shot #5~ Extreme close up 

Purpose of the shot~ The Purpose of an Extreme Close-up picture is to focus on a certain item. An extreme close-up of the individual's eye is shown in this video. This allows you to view what the person sees via their eyes.
