Blog Day 2: Camera shots and angles

Microscopic Our Moments!

Hey guys! Today I'm going to show you my 'lens' through 5 shots that is being replicate by camera.





Close up Shot: I had a fun time trying to create this shot. This is my cute niece, whom I hang out with almost everyday since her parents are always at work. I've become a part-time babysitter, but I absolute enjoy this job. In this shot, I'm trying to show off my niece's cuteness. Within two seconds, her expression went from confused to happy. This moment was definitely worth capturing! 





Extreme Close-up:  In this scene, my niece is 'munching' on her dinner (holding a milk-bottle). However, we can't tell from the video because I purposely zoom in to highlight her innocent eyes and thoughts while enjoys her dinner. Through her eyes, you can see calmness and innocence, which is ironic because she's usually hyper and always screaming!!! 



Two-shot: While creating this shot, I made sure to focus solely on my two friends, ensuring that no one else was highlighted in the frame. This shot captures our daily moment in the cafeteria and perfectly cherishes our friendship. 



Over the shoulder shot: I had an interesting experience creating this shot, as I was facing them while they were talking from behind. I immediately realized that this is a movie-like moment in real life. While enjoying their dialogue, this shot shows the intimacy between the two characters and mainly focuses on the facial reactions as they respond to the conversation.



High Angle Shot: I had to re-take this shot several times due to the height limit, in fact, the shot turned out nicer than we expected :> This shot meant to minimize the character's power and energy despite her frustration. This will help to put our audience at ease as they witness our character overreacting over a problem.

  1. Hey Thu,
    You did a wonderful job capturing these beautiful shots; I particularly enjoyed your close-up and two-person shots. The close-up shot captures all of your niece's expression, especially the transition from confused to content. It TRIGURED my cuteness aggression; just look at her chubby cheeks (I want to pinch her cheeks). On the other hand, the two-person shot really triggered my nosy inner demon. With the body language included but without the dialogue itself, this makes me want to jump straight into the video to get some tea!

  2. Hey Thu!! :3 you did amazing in on these shots. One that specifically stood out to me was the two-shot. It was a great way to show a conversation between two people as well as simultaneously showing their surroundings, it also helps set the atmosphere well. Another one that I was fond of is the over-the-should shot. This shot really creates a more personal atmosphere between the characters while they are having a discussion. The audience can feel the emotions that are going on between the characters.
