Opening Sequence -- The Shot List

My opening sequence consists of a multitude of different camera angles than shown in my preliminary task.

My Preliminary Task required me to focus on three types of camera shots which were:

1) Match on Action

2) 180 Degree Rule

  3) Shot/Reverse Shot

In my opening sequence, I used a wider range of shots including:

1) Low Angle Shot 

This is a low angle shot where the camera approaches the subject from below the eye level. A low angle shot can emphasise the size of the object being filmed and add to a point of view perspective. 

2) Close up Shot

A Close-Up shot is used to observe reactions and emotions such as happiness or tension. The emotion shown in the image is indifferent which means the audience cannot tell or read what the emotions on the characters face tells or what he may be thinking about.

3) Establishing Shot

The establishing shot shown above shows the setting of the opening sequence and often used at the beginning of a programme or film to set the scene. This shot was used at the beginning of my opening sequence. 

4) Medium Shot

A medium shot is described as a medium-distance shot where the camera is not for from the subject or close to the subject meaning it is a moderate distance away making it a medium shot. This medium shot shows one of the characters putting his blazer on. 

The variation of different cameras shots calls for a more enjoyable viewing experience for the audience as the camera angles can show different perspectives, settings, character emotions as well as the events taking place in the film. It simply makes the media product better and enhances the storyline.
