Introduction:
This is day two of my friends and I are taking pictures of my storyboard in real life and applying the shot sizes, angles, framing, and composition in real-life situations. Storyboarding is planning camera shots and how they "flow" into each other, while camera work is the photography produced by a camera and especially a motion-piture, video, or Tv camera and the reason this is important is because it allows for the audience to feel certain emotions through framing, angles, and composition. As I was planning out my shots with my friends, I had to consider a few things, such as shot sizes, camera angles, framing, and camera composition. I had to worry about these the most because if I messed these up, the pictures could come off blurry, out of focus, look horrible and would be confusing to the audience. A shot size is how much of the setting or subject is seen within a given frame of video or picture, which is how it got its name "shot size," for example, a close up shot (look below) A camera angle is the degree to which a photo and/or picture is taken to create a different view or perception, like the over-the-shoulder and your looking at the person or object over someone's shoulder. Camera framing is the placement and position of the subjects and people in the shots, like a POV, and lastly, composition. Composition is the arrangement of objects in a frame, as well as shapes and the alignment of the background, such as deep focus. While taking the shots it was very hard to do because I had to direct the actors and props everywhere by myself and tried to take the pictures at the same time, which I couldn’t do since I'm short and my camera lens is cracked, so I asked my tall friends to take the pictures on his phone so they can come out cleaner and clear. They all came out nicely and we had fun doing them; learning to take camera shots is important for film because without them the shots and angles would have no meaning and reveal important info too soon.
