Camera+Movement

= =

In groups of two use your cellphone camera create the videos of shots and camera movements below.

1. Create the shots and embed the videos into your process journal. 2. For each shot describe what the shot looks like. 3. For each shot describe how it is created. 4. For each shot answer how and why you might use each the techniques to tell a story, create a mood, invoke an emotion, or establish a character. 5. When finished submit a link to the finished assignment on managebac

The Zoom and the Rack Focus will have to be done with the cinema cameras not your cell phone.

=SHOTS AND MOVEMENT= Shot: A single piece of film uninterrupted by cuts. the three main ways to describe shots are: __Key Concept The Rule of 3rds: __ media type="custom" key="26186438"
 * The size of the shot
 * The movement of the shot
 * The height-angle of the shot
 * What is in the shot, or the purpose of the shot
 * In your storyboards you will use all of these elements to describe shots and movement. In addition utilize the key concept of the Rule of Thirds to compose your shots.**

__Sho ____t Sizes __: The size of the shot is determined by the size of the person(or an object roughly the same size as a person) inside of the frame.

**Extreme wide shot** ** (XWS): ** the person’s entire body takes up less than ~50%of the shot

**Wide shot (WS):** the person’s entire body takes up between 50% to almost 100% of the shot

**Long shot (LS):** the person’s entire body fills up about 100% of the shot

**Medium long shot (MLS):** we see about 75% of the person (usually from the knees up)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Medium shot (MS):** We see about 50% of the person (usually from the waist up)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Medium close-up (MCU):** we see about 25% of the person (usually from the chest up)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Close-up(CU):** we see a single complete part of the person’s body (usually the head).

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Extreme close-up (XCU):** we see a detail of the person’s body (the eyes, the mouth, a finger,etc…)

It is used to establish setting and to show transitions between locations. (Find and example on Youtube and embed in your process journal.)
