Camera

 Different Camera Angels

 Extreme close up:

I have chosen an extreme close up in this picture because it shows importance, and a certain element that I want to show that is important. This is a picture of an exit sign, and I have chosen a slightly canted angle to show the way in which the arrow is point to side with the picture, and to tell the audience.


Low Shot:

This shows clearly that the camera is placed towards the bottom of the ground looking up towards the subject. I have done this because the subject has authority and importance over the rest. They have the power because the subject is wiser and older, which is why I have chosen this shot.
 Mid shot:

This picture shows two subjects from their head to just their waist. I have chosen this shot because the two subjects are meant to be the centre of attention showing a few more key emotions. Such as the first subjects hand, indicated that he is explaining something or laughing, which shows emotion and the second subject is listening. We can tell this by the expression on both their faces.


High shot:

I have used this high shot to show the hight of someone and how it can look from their point of view. This shot was taken from the subjects chest and downwards. It shows how small the ground looks compared to what they see because they are so higher up. This can be used to also show isolation as the person could be looking down to the ground a lot.


Establishing shot:
This is a shot that is taken to show the surrounding of a setting or place. it normally doesn't have any people in it because it is the setting of the scene. However i have chosen to use a subject to be sitting in the middle of the empty chairs alone to show isolation, loneliness, and how big a new school can make someone feel to them.



Long shot:

In a long shot, you would normally see the whole persons body and the setting that the photo is taken in. In this shot I have done just that, by using my subject to stand in the middle of the school corridors. this shows the full height of the subject and how small they can feel. Like with the establishing shot, this is also linked with the feel of loneliness and isolation in somewhere so big and empty. 





Close up:

I have used a close up of not a subject but an object, this is because with an object the whole of the object would be captured in the picture instead of part like you would with a subject. This photograph shows a close up of a fallen cup out of a dying hand and the effect that it has fallen out and is rolling around the floor, because this cup may have had been in another scene and now you see that it is significant because it has caused the person to die.



Worms-eye View:

this is also known as an extreme low shot because the camera is angled from bellow the subjects. This shot here shows this, as you can see all four of the subjects head peeping over the camera to give the effect that the subjects are looking at something that we can not see. I have used this shot here because I want to give the effect that the subjects have all seen something that is shocking, yet which reacts suspense because we have not seen it yet, it is a great shot that is used to create tension of the unknown.
