Camera Shots

Long shot

The long shot is used to allow the audience to see what the character is wearing. This gives the audience an idea of what they might be like.In this case, Megan is sat down but she could be standing, that would give us an even better view. The angle of the camera in this case is that is eye level as the I took this picture as I was also sat down. Taking this picture at eye level highlighted the fact we are equal to each other as we are both students, therefore have the same authority within our school. Seeing Megan's facial expression which is happy, doesn't reflect on her clothing as she is wearing very dark, earthly colours. If we didn't see the long shot of this image, we might get the idea that Megan is doing something different than sitting down in a hall.

Establishing Shot

This establishing shot of the hall is important as it shows the full surroundings and is introducing you to what is the scene you will watching or viewing. Showing everything which is in the middle of the shot shows the audience that everything in the scene is perfectly in proportion. We are at eye level in this picture to what the person is in the picture. This makes the audience feel more involved in what is going on as well as being able to see everything surrounding them.

Long Shot

This long shot of Matt is at a high angle and is using a birds eye view. When taking this picture I zoomed in towards him a bit more, as the surroundings of Matt werent relevant to the picture I was taking. The fact that this picture was taken on a higher level to which Matt was at at, highlights the fact that I might be at a higher authority than him. E.g.: if I was a teacher taking a picture of Matt, it would be a good example of who has more power. 

Mid Shot

The mid shot picture is at eye level. This sort of shot would typically be used for a news reader for example. It allows the audience to clearly see facial expressions that the person on screen has.This often tells a mood of a story. Mid shots are used to put across a message that is highlighted. The eye level angle of the camera can make it feel like you - as the audience, are more involved within the scene as it feels more direct when they are speaking.

Long Shot

The birds eye angle of this image demonstrates to the audience that they need to take in what the people in the image are wearing. In this case, Matt is wearing brighter colours than I am, this could tell a lot of different of different stories to the audience. Also, this shot has got other things in it, such as chairs and other people. This sort of picture encourages the audience to try and judge us as characters, and figure out what sort of place we are from. In this case, we are in a school hall which obviously shows we are students.
