cinematography filming exercise




This video shows the different types of shots used in our project such as: long shot, rolling shot, extreme close up, over the shoulder, high angel etc.we used the different shot types effectively to make our short film a lot more exciting, we tried to figure out the different ways in which film producers make their films and it was very surprising to see how many different shots are used in a film and how we never really understand the thoughts and hardwork put into the films. 
in our video we used a wide range of shots which include: long shots, close up, extreme close up, over the shoulder, high angle, rolling shots etc. despite this being the first time using cameras for filming, believe we our shots good for amateurs, however we will work on making our shots better and improve the quality of our films.  There are numerous shots which portray this. for example the scene where there is rolling shot where Denis looks confused, the over the shoulder shot where I  is walking towards david with the camera placed over my shoulder, the high angle shot where Nadine stabs as this makes me look vulnerable, The tracking shot of Nadine walking which was kind of shaky and the medium shot of me. From this we will progress to make even better videos using our mistakes from this video.
