Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog. Camera Shots/Angles are the most important element in my project. Since the beginning, we already had an idea of vision of camera shots/angles—documented in the first storyboarding. However, when it comes to filming, things got out of plans. We figured that some of the angles is repetitive. To minimize this, we decided to change some of the angle in our process.
There are a couple main camera shots/angles that we constantly use. For examples, the overhead shot was widely use in our film. The reason behind this was to showcase the object and action in process. This creates a one on one effect and give the audience a better understanding of what is happen here. Additionally, over the shoulder shot was also widely use as we wanted to show a wide framing of Gigi's action like taking out the make-up products.
To enhance the action in progress, we also employed close-up shot to get the closest distance as possible for the title sequencing. However, we still had to use some editing methods to get a better close up and zoom in to capture the greatest distance for our text on image effect. One of my favorite camera shot was the full shot employed with the dolly out-zoom in camera movement. This combination not only eyes-catching but also give a sense of loneliness. We intentionally recorded Gigi with full shot so we can demonstrate the down-mood surrounding with lower saturation. In term of angles wise, most of our framing was eyes-level, some with high/low angle. For instance, when Gigi was walking down stair, the camera man was all set at on the second floor with the camera facing down to create a high angle framing. Kudos to our team, high-angle was a great choice here as Gigi was walking down with despair. The angle made Gigi looked smaller and trapped the mood in her.
