Short film practice continued

Camera shots/angles

Medium shots - Throughout the short films I have used many medium shots as this presents the character involved and also enough of the setting that is necessary. It also catches any important movement or facial expressions to be seen by the audience.

Long shots - A long shot is used to portray the movement of the character and the fact they are travelling to one destination to another. It also shows the subject in the setting (the school corridor).

 Medium close up - I have also used a medium close up, mainly to focus on the characters confused facial expression. The camera is also placed behind the door showing the character through the window to create a variety of shots within the film.

Reaction shots - I have also used reaction shots in the film to portray the conversation between two characters. It shows the facial expressions of the characters throughout the conversation capturing the feelings that they may have which adds to the plot.

Low angle - A low angle was used to emphasise the power of the villain in this film. Low angle shots portray a superior side to a character making the audience feel inferior.

High angle - A high angle was used to make a character look inferior to the audience, the high angle portrays the character to have a lack of power compared to other characters and is in need of help.
