Point-of-view Shot
A point-of-view shot is a shot from the camera persons perspective This shot was relatively easy to make but I had to make sure I was getting everything in the frame while managing to include my own hand.
Extreme Close up Shot
The extreme close up shot is a magnified shot of small detail, usually a subjects eye, therefore I decided to film Lilys eye because there was so much detail to focus on. This shot was relatively easy and i didn't have any trouble filming.
Dolly Shot
A dolly shot is a moving shot, accomplished by moving the cameras as if on a set of tracks. For this shot i decided to creep up on my subject, focusing on keeping the camera still and staying in the line of my tracks.
High Angle Shot
A high angle shot is filmed from high above the subject. To get this effect, I stood on top of a table as Lily looked up to me. This shot was not very hard to film but does require some props to get that higher level shot.
Close Shot
A close shot is a shot in which the subject is shown from the top of the head to mid waist. For this shot, I decided to have Kiley standing up normally. This shot was fairly easy and only requires a subject.
Cameo Shot
A cameo shot is a shot in which the subject is filmed against a black or neutral background. I chose to place Lily up on a chair so I could get the neutral effect of the classroom wall. This shot was not hard to film, required little effort, and a plain wall of neutral color
Close up
Although my extreme close up and regular close up are similar, they are not quite the same. The focus in this shot is on Lily's face, not exactly her eye. Although her eye is present in this video, the focus in on her face. This shot was very easy to film and only required a subject.
Full Shot
My full shot includes Lilys whole body. Everything was in the frame, from the top of her head to the bottom of her toes. To get the full effect, Lily did a few spins in the frame.
Low-Angle Shot
This shot of Lily was taken from below. I crouched down on the floor as she stood above me. This was a simple but different shot.
Two Shot
For my two shot, I filmed Kiley and Lily having a casual conversation. There wasn't any specific camera angle involved, so I went for a head-on shot including both characters.
Pan Shot
For my pan shot, I simply moved the camera horizontally across the room. When filming this shot, it is important to have a steady hand so the video doesn't come out shaky. I suggest using a tripod.
Freeze Shot
For this freeze frame of my dog, I made her sit still by capturing her when she was tired. The shot is of a still subject, to make the frame appear frozen. This clip is very short because my dog would only stay still for so long.
I chose to view the point-of-view, pan, freeze frame, and the dolly shots. I found the point of view shot interesting because as I was looking through the camera, it was almost as if my eyes were attached to the camera and I was in the room. By using her hand, she was able to display a cool affect whereas if her arm wasn’t in the shot the affect may have not been as apparent. The pan shot was my favorite because it allowed for more than what can be fit into the camera frame to be seen, the camera is moved around steadily which allows for both the surroundings in front and behind of the subject to be known which allows for a better understanding of the setting. The freeze frame shot is nice because it sets the mood as calm and relaxed due to both the silence and stillness of the camera and the setting. The dog is highlighted due to there being no distractions in the surroundings which is very nice. The dolly shot was another shot that I found interesting because it showed the subject in the camera appearing closer to the camera by the second which presents an affect that seems to have the subject being sneaked up on at a steady pace and a steady camera positioning.
