This task was to demonstrate that we understood the different Shot Types and their effects. This is relevant because in film and TV, the use of different shot types allows for different meanings. For example, a close-up shot could imply that the scene is intense.
This shot type is an Establishing Shot. This allows the viewer to understand where the scene is set and understand the situation. An establishing shot mostly focusses on the background setting, however, can include characters. An establishing shot might be used at the beginning of a Film to set the scene and show the viewer where the film is taking place.
This is an establishing shot from a film. Both this shot and my establishing shot have similarities in the fact that they both display characters, whilst also showing the background.
In the future, if I were to take another establishing shot, I could take it from the outside of a building to further enhance where the scene is set.
This shot type is a Long Shot. A long shot portrays the characters whole body, as well as showing the background. This shot could be used to present the character in a particular setting. A Long Shot may be used at the beginning of a scene to further establish the setting and characters.

This shot is a Medium Long Shot. This shot type could be used to show the upper part of the character, whilst still allowing the viewer to see most of their body. Furthermore, it encourages the viewer to begin to focus on the characters facial and body expressions.

This shot type is a medium close up. Although the background is still visible in this shot, the character is the main focus – particularly their facial expressions. This shot could be used to intensify the scene, allowing the viewer to get closer to the character. This shot type could therefore be used in an intense moment.
This shot is a Medium Close Up. It invites the viewer closer to the character, allowing them to access their thoughts and feelings. In the future, I could take the shot slightly closer to the actor to enhance the effect that this shot type can have.
This shot type is a Close Up. This shot focusses primarily on the subject. However, the background is still visible to the viewer, yet not the main subject. This shot type could be used to clearly portray an emotion. For example, if a character was smiling, a close up shot would highlight strongly how they are feeling.

This shot type is an extreme close up. This shot type focusses closely on a particular part of the subject. It also, removes the background so that the viewer focusses solely on the subject being shown. This shot is useful to understand the characters inner feelings. For example, an extreme close up of the eye could highlight fear.
This is an extreme Close Up Shot from a film. It further amplifies the inner emotions of the character. When taking this shot in the future, I would move the camera even closer to the subject to ensure that the emotion that I am trying to portray is felt.
This shot type is a High Angle Shot. This shot is created when the camera is above the subject, looking down on them. This can be used to make the subject appear small and inferior. This shot type can allow the viewer to see the character and the background.
This is a High Angle Shot from a film. It shows the inferiority of the characters. In the future, I would adjust the angle even higher depending on what emotion I was trying to convey. By moving the angle of the camera higher, it would make the subject appear even smaller.
This shot type is a Low Angle Shot. This shot type is created with the camera positioned below the subject and looking up at them. This allows the subject to appear larger and superior. This shot type could be used during a powerful scene to display the subject’s strength.
This is a Low Angle Shot from a film. This shot has been used to show the superiority of the characters. This is a good angle to use as it is clear the characters are important members of society. In order to convey the extent of their superiority, I would adjust the camera angle further.
This shot type is a Dutch Angle Shot. It is created by the tilting of the camera against the subject. It can be used to make the subject appear disorientated and unaware of their surroundings. This could be used to show the dizziness and confusion that a character is feeling in a particular moment. Furthermore, the distance between the subject and the camera can further highlight this idea.
