Camera Shots/Angles Quiz

 

Last week in AICE media studies, in pairs we worked on our camera shots and angles quiz. It consists of telling a story through 15 pictures using the shots and angles we were taught previously in class. We had to use inanimate objects to help develop the visual story. And include 10 specific shots, but had the freedom to choose the other 5. The goal of this project is to show our full understanding of different types of shots and angles.

I approached the assignment by brainstorming different story ideas, something short and  simple since we only had 15 pictures. We decided on a kind of "long lost lovers", I suddenly envisioned a white eraser going through a perilous journey to reunite with its lover, a pink eraser. After coming up with this we thought of a main story line, the challenges the eraser would face before reuniting with its lover. We then decided the setting of the story, and that we had to incorporate dangerous challenges for the white eraser to encounter before reuniting with pink eraser. This included having to fly a paper airplane, encounters with a dog, and having to fight stapler guards. After, we made the choice to add little papers with faces on the erasers to know what emotion the erasers are feeling in every picture. This was a great help for the story-telling. Finally we created a shot list for organization.

I think we did a good job figuring out our story and assigning shots/angles to each picture. For the restraints and expectations we needed to meet we did a pretty good job of keeping the story fluid. We knew what we wanted each face, and scene to look like. We definitely struggled on time management. The original plan was to shoot in the classroom but due to timing we did it in a living room. We also struggled a little with getting our shots as good as we wanted, also taking up valuable time.
