Shot Composition

On the 10th of September we got into groups and then we went out to collect different types of shots 

for example, Close up, Extreme Close Up, POV Shot etc. This got us to think about each shot and how it could be used in the media, what purpose it has and why they would decide to use it in for that particular shot.

This is a video that we shot in school, this is an extreme wide shot of the school. The extreme wide shot can also be known as the extreme long shot, this is once you broaden the arcs of the viewers so they can see a setting, usually the persons wouldn't even be in the shot. This shot can be used to 'Set the scene' .

This is a video that was also shot in school, this is an over the shoulder which can be used once someone is having a conversation, it allows you to draw the viewers in so it seems like they are in your setting.

This shot is called a two-shot, this is once two people are involved in the shot, this can be used for different reasons for example the main subject could be placed in the foreground and the less important subject that has equal relevance to the shot could be placed in the background. This shot can also be used to show emotions on the persons faces, this is also related to the three-shot.

This video consists of the extreme close up shot, this is used in media to show the expression on an individuals face, which allows the viewers to see how he/she is feeling. This shot is too close to show an individuals reaction but is vital in expressing someones emotions
