SHOOT Due Wed. April 1

The objective of this exercise is to shoot 5-10 minutes of raw footage for your video portrait project.


SHOOT
-Shoot 5-10 minutes of footage
-Follow Story Board Idea- Gives you a Plan to Follow
-Include these shots in your footage:

• Long Shot, Medium Shot, Close Up
• Master shot: the view point in the scene in which the relationships between subjects are clear
• Establishing Shot: long shot at the beginning of a scene designed to inform viewers of a change in location and to orient them to general mood and relative placement of subjects in scene
• Reverse angle: a shot that turned around approx. 180 degrees from preceding shot
• Point of view shot: also POV presents the viewpoint of the character in the scene
• Shallow focus: shallow depth of field-used to isolate a subject from background and/or foreground
• Detail shot: a tighter highly magnified version of the close up used to show a fragment of a whole subject or a small object in its entirety.
• Deep focus: wide angle lens used to keep extreme foreground and background both in focus simultaneously
