 Hello everyone,    Now that I have learnt the importance of camera angles in film, I would be applying my knowledge of this into my movie. Not only do I have to know the importance of camera angles, but I must use my ability of organization and creativity. I also have to be able to differentiate my characters clearly in the storyboard. This included giving them costumes. I also had to be able to include props. All of these things apply to camera angles since they within in the frame.    For this assignment we had to create a storyboard based on our movie. This is the second and final part of our storyboard. For this scene we incorporated the antagonist of the movie. To include tension and fear in the film, we incorporated a high angle and a low angle. These angles show the vulnerability the character is in and also surprises the audience with a jump scare. The overhead and Dutch angles are used to demonstrate the power the antagonist has. The eye level shot is used to demonstrate the

 Welcome everyone,     Now that I have learned about shot sizes, I would be applying my understanding of this to my film. For example, now that I know that the establishing shot is used to establish the setting, I used this shot to establish the setting of a high school. A storyboard can also be interpreted as a shot list. A shot list is the director's plan for every shot in a scene. This serves as a blueprint for what you need to film in order to have an effective film.     For my shot sizes I included as much detail as possible to make it follow in a chronological order. I included coloring and outlined it in pen to make it stand out more. I included an action line for each shot. The action line is supposed to explain what is happening in the shot. The shot sizes that I used were the same ones I used in my notes, which are establishing shot, master shot, wide shot, full shot, medium full shot, medium shot, medium close up, close up, and extreme close up. We made the movie about a

 Hello everyone,    During media studies class we have been focusing on the importance of camera angles. Camera angles marks the specific location at which the camera is placed to take a shot. This evokes a different experience and sometimes emotion. Camera angles includes low angle, high angle, overhead level, Dutch angle, eye level, hip level, knee level, and ground level. A high angle shot is where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle. This shot emphasizes the subject vulnerability, or their lower status compared to another subject. This can be used to imply danger or tension. A low angle shot would be the opposite of this but can be used to evoke the same feelings. This camera technique is when the camera angle is positioned below the eye line of the subject, pointing upwards. This can convey vulnerability or power or a mixture between these two.     For this assignment I had to draw an example of each camera angle and include some details of the angle. My drawing

 Welcome everyone,    During media studies we have been focusing on the importance of shot sizes. A shot size is how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a frame of the shot. This helps to emphasize specific emotions, ideas, and movements for each scene. For example, the establishing shot is usually the first scene of a movie. It’s used to establish the location and environment of a place. This can be used to establish mood and give the audience visual clues regarding the time period and general situation.    For this assignment we had to create a storyboard about the different types of shot sizes. We had to draw an example of the shot and include some details about the shot to help us memorize it. There were ten shot sizes I had to learn: establishing shot, master shot, wide shot, full shot, medium full shot, medium shot, medium close up, close up, and extreme close-up. These were fairly easy to learn. I worked on this assignment alone, since this was just notes. Later o

 Greetings everyone,     Lately, I have been learning about camerawork in media studies. Camerawork is the way something is being filmed. This plays into the framing, angles, shots, movements, and composition. In class we were mainly focused on shot sizes and camera angles. Shot size is how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a frame of a shot. Camera angles marks a specific location at which the camera is placed to take the shot. Filmmakers uses this to emphasize specific emotions, ideas, and movement for each scene.     We went through the different types of shot sizes. Such as full shot, wide shot, master shot, establishing shot, medium shot, medium full shot, medium close up, close up, and extreme close up. We also learned about the different types of camera angles such as, high angles, low angles, eye level, Dutch, overhead, hip level, knee level, and ground level. We took notes on a video called “Ultimate Guide to Camera Shots: Every Shot Size Explained [The Shot L

    This part of the assignment was very important to understanding color. White and black plays a big deal in film. There are many black and white movies, including movies from the time color in film already existed. For example, the lighthouse is a very popular black and white movie made in 2019. Black and white in film are mainly used to create mystery and suspense. It helps to build the atmosphere, tone, and contrast from the real world. Warm/Cool colors help to reinforce a sense of warmth in the plot. No matter what shade or tone of the color, it's always used as a symbolism.     In this part of the PowerPoint, we had to analyze the importance of black/white and warm/cool colors in film. We included where the picture was from and what the genre of the movie is. We also made sure to include how the color helps to convey the genre.  We included how the color affects the mood and tone of the scene. The most important apart was to explain what the color symbolizes. For example, pi

   As I have mentioned in the previous blog, color in film is very important. Color is separated into multiple categories such as, primary colors, secondary colors, warm colors, cool colors, and black/white. Today I would be focusing on secondary colors. Secondary colors are green, orange, and purple. Color in film is used to evoke certain emotions from the audience. Could sometimes be used to juxtapose against one another to send a message, creating dramatic irony. Colors help to elicit psychological reactions, draw the attention to the importance of the details in a frame, set the mood and tone, and represent character traits.     For this part we got scenes from various movies that had the lighting as secondary colors. We analyzed the colors and explained as to why the cinematographer would add this specific color. We also made to sure to explain what the color was supposed to evoke from the audience. Such as if the scene was supposed to convey a pity, sympathy, frightening, or happ

    During Media Studies class we have been learning the importance of color in film. Color in film is used to extract certain emotions from the audiences. Color in film is also used to guide the audience towards the intent of the author, send a message, and create dramatic irony. The three codes that illustrates color in film is hue, saturation, and brightness. The three characters of film is tone, color, and lightning. The cinematographer is responsible for color in film. For this particular part of the assignment, we are focusing on the primary colors. The primary colors consist of red, blue, and yellow.     The goal of this preliminary exercise was to create a color wheel Semiotic Analysis Organizer based on Roland Barthes’ Theory. This preliminary exercise was to help me to analyze the symbolic meaning of colors in film. This assignment required me to make a PowerPoint with one other teammate. We decided to split up the PowerPoint by giving each other five slides each. I did the p
