camera shots!☆*: .。.

 

~Establishing Shot~

For this shot, I decided to pan into the setting. The experience of filming this shot was average, as it wasn’t much but it did its job. I filmed this video on a different day than the others, make the weather seem inconsistent. Florida is so unpredictable…

~Full Body Shot~

Here, I wanted to incorporate our school’s beautiful garden. I had my friend, Kashaenah, pose under the greenery to produce a ‘blissfully oblivious’ vibe. The greenery really compliments the setting and I’m glad we could film there.

~Overhead Shot~

I asked my group to talk about nonsense as I got on a plank of wood sustained by bricks. The elevation developed a clear view of each of them and it was fun to film. Though I was a bit sacred of falling off the plank, it did make a nice angle.

~Knee Shot~

As per usual, you can see me repping my iconic, undying love for Dr. Pepper on my shirt (Please sponsor me Dr. Pepper). I wanted to use more of the garden, but as we were running out of time we opted for the arch again. I felt so silly modeling for this video, but my silliness must be overcame. 

~Over-The-Shoulder Shot~

This scene was hilarious to be apart of! My friend and I thought it’d be funny to act out a fight scene so, obviously, I had to fake the punch. (No girls were hurt in the making of this video!) I’m glad we filmed this shot since it had more pizzazz, which I love.

  1. omg, you did so well! i specifically loved the over the shoulder shot and the overhead shot.

    for the over the shoulder shot, i like how you created a continuous movement by making the camera move with you as you walked, closing in on the characters in the scene. it made for a nice choice storytelling wise, how the other people disappeared from the frame and we focused on the altercation beginning to take place. however, i wish we could have seen a little bit more towards the end, where the camera sort of went a bit too much towards your back and didnt stay looking over the shoulder. and i honestly really like the overhead shot, it was so creative! i never wouldve thought to use the high angle and narrow down the shot with the way you positioned your friends. it fills up the frame from all edges and really brings attention to that feeling of being in a group. overall, all of these shots came out really nice and interesting! :3

  2. Hey Jadelyn! So I loved your overhead shot and full body shot. Your full body shot was definitely giving full focus on the characters movements. I really acknowledged what her body was doing but also how the background worked with all of it. Next the overhead shot gave me a sense of power, this is because of the way you filmed all the characters from atop and i could see everything happening from a equidistant POV. Amazing job, you did great!

  3. hi jadelyn, i really love your knee shot for that you did under the arch. i love the use of color in cinematography and i'm not sure it you planned this but i feel like the reason why that shot works so much is because red and green are complimentary colors. so the colors work well with eachother and creates an even more contrast from you to your background. nicely done :)
