Preliminary Exercise: Storyboarding: Shot Sizes

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 high schooler staying after school with his friends. The high schooler heard a sound making him leave the room, also leaving behind his safety.

For this assignment I worked on it with one other person. We decided to split up the project by one of us doing the drawings and the other coming up with the action lines. We both felt that it would be best for me to the drawings in this assignment. We both collaborated together to come up with ideas on our movie and in the end decided to pick horror. We both worked very well together to come up with ideas for our movie. The next blog will be a continuation of our movie, but instead of shot sizes we would using camera angles.

Thank you for Reading!

Welcome To My AICE Media Studies Blog!

Welcome Everyone, Today I will be talking about Media Studies. Media studies is important to study because it helps us understand the motives or intentions behind a media product. What I mean by this is that it is easier to find out the meaning of a media text or a post. For example, when I watch a movie just by the first two minutes, I already know who it was intended for and what direction the plot is going at. It also helps me to choose what media platform I use more wisely. Studying media studies taught me what someone's intended effect is for their media product. For example, when scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, you will see a variety of different users. Some just do it for the likes and others do it fun, while some want to spread awareness of a certain topic. My favorite media product are movies. Watching movies keeps me entertained and at the same time helps me to relax. I feel like most teenagers would like to watch movies because it's a way for...

Research: Digital Camerawork Organizer: Camera Framing

Hello everyone, During Media Studies class, I have been learning about the importance of camera framing in camerawork. Camera framing refers to how you place and position subjects and objects in shots. This is more about composing an image rather than pointing the camera at the subject. Camera framing helps to convey the relationship of subjects to other objects. The different types of camera frames are one shot, two shot, three shot, four shot, crowd shot, over the shoulder shot, and insert shot. For the third part of the assignment, we had to create a digital camerawork organizer focusing on camera framing. To create this digital camerawork organizer, we decided to use a word document. I had to include the definition and list two purposes for each camera frame. Then I went with my partner to take pictures of my shots. I then wrote the action line for each shot. I included the tone, genre, and central idea for each shot. Th...

Preliminary Exercise 6: Introduction to Camerawork Warm-Up

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 Sh...
