Preliminary Exercise

 Hello today in class we took 4 picture in order to practice our composition skills. 



I took this photo at a High-angle to fully show the entire subject, a seat with markers on it to mimic a clock. 



This is a wide shot to show all 3 trees in their designated positions. I attempted to alter the focus to focus on the middle tree but my camera didn't allow. 


This is an over the shoulder shot of Jose using the computer. So that the audience can feel like the are looking over his shoulder at something Jose is showing them. 


This is a long shot of Jose posing powerfully, the long shot allows you to see Jose's full frame.


I could work on framing and the rule of thirds. I don't know how to view the 3x3 grid on the screen so my framing definitely suffers.

It helps drive suspense as the audience waits to see my classmates reaction to the image on the screen. This is a dolly shot of my classmate. See here, the dolly shot is used to drive into the main impactful moment, enhancing its effect.  In this shot me and my classmate attempted to recreate a Steadicam by using a rolling chair.

This shot is more meant to bring attention and emphasis to something rather than eliciting any specific emotion.  This is a static shot of the American flag using a tilt movement. This is to show the scale of the flag. It also helps highlight the flags significance.  This is a shot using a panning movement. It allows the ...

Mood Board

  Haunted House I chose to pick images of a mostly dark and eerie atmosphere. This is because the setting was a haunted house, which tend to be dark, creepy and decerped. I wanted the characters to look hostile and the setting to seem gloomy. I want the audience to feel disturbed and potentially unsafe.  A Summer Pool In this moodboard I chose photos of a happier and lighthearted tone. I was attempting to convey simple summer fun! The color schemes are light blue, like the sunny sky and the clear water and brown, to represent stuff like the rocks and tiling around pools, also it mimics sand.  A Desert I chose very few colors, green and brown. I used these two colors to express the emptiness of a dessert, and endless dessert expanse, barren. There's very little here: a person, some dunes, a cactus. Just like how there's not much in a dessert. A City A city is grey and crowded during the day, but quiets down at night, becoming almost eerie. I tried to represent that duality...
