Practice Shots

The Overview of shots...

Mesmorised Girl:- With this shot we decided that it would be best to show the characters face in front of the camera through the computer screen next to the computer she was sitting at as well as showing the side of her face as you could connect with how she felt and it was very effective.

How did you achieve the shots you made?
- We achieved the shots we made by focusing on lighting, positioning of the camera, the character /characters in the shot, what was going on in front of the camera and the background depending on the scenarios we were given. 

Would you use any in your film?
- We would use the same techniques that we learnt today to show different emotions and movement as some were very effective and worked really well and could link into our film.
