AS - Shot Types and Angles

In today's lesson we have:

• selected a scenario card to help us choose appropriate body language, facial expressions and mise-en-scene;
• practised storyboard skills by sketching each camera shot/angle;
• discovered the name, abbreviation and generalise use for that shot/angle;
• carefully using a tripod and camcorder, captured a still image which mimics our storyboard of angles and shots;
• uploaded those shots in to a word document with a grid and accurately cropped and labelled the stills;
• uploaded to slideshare.net;
• practised embedding our files into our blogs;

The final activity for your homework, which I will set on Thursday and is due in on Monday 23rd September, is to write about what you have done and how it will contribute to your project.

• What have you learnt?
• How is this valuable?
• Why is the scenario and genre of film relevant to the shots and angles?

Replicate the sheet below or otherwise, save a copy of this one and use it for your work.
