WEEK 2 : LECTURE 2

Mr Martin provided us with some slides about framing and storyboarding for the second week to help us throughout the week. We learned about the various types of shots that are available or will be assigned to us later in the second exercise. This will assist us in identifying different types of shot perspectives.

Shot Size :

Wide Shot :

A wide shot includes the entire subject and important objects in the immediate surroundings. If it's used at the beginning of a scene it's often called an "establishing shot".

Medium Shot (M.S)

A medium shot shows the subject that are important to understanding - Gesture and expression, from the person waist up, letting hands and 

Medium Close - Up Shot (M.C.U)

Medium close up films subject character from approximately midway between waist and shoulder to above the head.

Over the Shoulder Shot (O.S)

The over-shoulder shot shows the subject from behind the shoulder of another person. It is just to help or show another point of view by adding another character or object to the shot (only the shoulder)

Extreme Wide Shot (E.W.S)

Shows abroad view of the surroundings around the character and conveys scale, distance, and geographical location. It's used to show where character is in his/her environment.

Medium Wide Shot (M.W.S)

A medium wide shot shows a character usually cut off across the legs above or below the knees. It is wide enough to show the physical setting in which the action is taking place, it permit a nice balance of figure and surrounding.

Close up Shot (C.U)

A close-up is used to isolate the most important part of the subject. For a speaker, this is generally the head, or small object. It emphasizes facial expression, details of an object.

Extreme Close Up Shot (E.C.U)

An extreme close up single out a portion of the face magnifies a detail. The object is to focus on important detail either to increase the drama or impact on a situation or to allow the viewer to see necessary picture information more clearly.

Subject Angle : Composition 

Facial Modelling 

Best when subject is turned 45 degrees (3/4 angling) to the camera. Front and side of the face, if properly lighted will appear round and eyes are displayed fully.

3D Dimensional Solidity 

Most pronounce when 2 or more surfaces are photographed. Angling the camera in relation to the subject so that the two sides of of the objects are viewed, results in the most effective rendition.
