Angle Shots In Style
Capturing the moment
High Angle Shot: For my first shot I decided to do a high angle shot. This shot is mostly used to make a character appear more vulnerable which is similar to why I chose this shot. I achieved this shot by using a ladder to secure my phone on top so it looks down the character. My Purpose with this shot was to make the character seem more approachable and put some emphasize of the details of her makeup and style.
Ground level shot: As for my second shot I decided to do a ground shot. This shot can be considered unusual as the angle is not natural. I'm sure you don't randomly lay down on the floor to watch from that angle so that is why it makes these shots movie like. I achieved this shot by placing my phone on the ground securing with at the bottom of a table leg so it directly films the ground. My purpose with this shot was to create a more fierce scene for the character by putting emphasis on their fierce style as well, making them seem more imitating.
Over the shoulder shot: In my third shot I did an over the shoulder shot. This shot is mostly used for dialogues to show the relationship between characters, however I have decided to use it for a different reason. I achieved this shot by placing the camera over my shoulder so the shot will capture the characters shoulder as well as their reflection. My purpose to this shot was to make the audience see a more weak and intimate side of the character as they a caught in a moment alone in reflection of themselves.
Overhead shot: In my fourth shot I used an overhead shot. This angle is often used to make the character seem detached from the world which is exactly what I was mostly going for. I achieved this shot by placing my phone on the top of the ladder so it directly looks down at the character at a 90 degree angle. My purpose with this shot was to create an atmosphere where the audience can see the emotional distance of the character.
Close up: For my final angle shot I choose an extreme close up. This shot is often used to illustrate a characters emotions a lot more closely and to really bring attention to it. I achieved this shot by bringing the phone really close to my eyes so it is really in focus. My purpose with this shot was to show the audience the emotions of the character in more detail.
I love your over the shoulder shot and how you used the reflection of the mirror to show that you’re isolated. This shot makes the character look like they are in deep thought while removing their makeup. I also really like your high angle shot and how it can cause the audience to highlight the key points of your appearance. Additionally, it also makes you seem relatable to the audience since you appear to be approachable.
ReplyDeleteHey Gyongyyyyy!!!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say how much I LOVE the way you layout your blog. You clearly put a lot of effort into both the shots and your makeup, and it really shows. I’ve been really enjoying your blog posts; your descriptions are so detailed and vivid, it feels like I’m right there with you.
Out of this post, my two favorite shots have to be the overhead shot and the over-the-shoulder shot. The overhead shot is incredible because it sets up a chaotic scene that really emphasizes the emotional state of the main character. It gives such a clear picture of why the character ends up where they do, and the details you’ve captured really draw me in.
And the over-the-shoulder shot? I’m a huge fan of that one! I love how it captures a moment of loneliness, with the character reflecting on herself in the mirror. It’s so different from the usual dialogue shots and really makes me focus on the character’s actions and emotions. It adds a layer of unpredictability that keeps me hooked and wondering what’s coming next.
Keep up the amazing work!
Hey beautiful,
ReplyDeleteYou did an AMAZING job on filming these shots; these are unique shot choices (I rarely see anyone doing these shots). M favorites among the 5 are the overhead shot and the ground-level shots. The overhead shot drew my attention the most; I felt empathy for the main character; it captured the character's loneliness while emphasizing the emotional distance between her and the scene. Other than that, this shot tells me a lot about her hobbies, as the majority of the frame is covered in clothes (this can suggest that she's a fashion girl). In contrast, the ground-level shot emphasizes power and authority as well as the main character's femininity. The catwalk that showed in the shots suggests her explosive confidence; these combined make me feel extremely inspired.
