Film Studies

Mine, charlie, callum and george's film studies video.

For our film studies me, Charlie, Callum and George made a video called the psycho homophobe. The video is about a psychopath that gets jealous of a gay couple and he wants to break up their relationship by killing them.

As the cameraman I used lots of different shots and camera movements like the following:

Medium shot: head to waist.

Long shot: see everything, whole image of a person

Close up: face and head

Extreme close up: see their eyes, real detail.

Low angle: makes us look up to someone, makes him or her look powerful.

Rolling shots: shows the emotion in the character (confused).

I wasn’t able to use all of the camera shots because there were parts of the video where we didn’t need them.
 
I chose these shots to show understanding in the characters and make it more clear for the viewers, also it makes it look more professional, For example Rolling shot would show you the character's emotions, mainly confused. This made the video more successful because we didn't keep the camera in one place and make the video boring, so we moved it around and used lots of different techniques to make it more interesting.

The most positive parts of this video was us being able to use lots of camera shot techniques at the right time and scenes. Also the storyline went well, it had parts were it would build tension and lead to an unhappy ending. But some things could have been improved with the pauses between the scenes, also the camera could have been more steady on some scenes.
