Film Viewing Practice Essay (Re-Do)

The clip opens with the classic marvel logo, but in the background, you can already hear the dramatic tone of the clip starting to come through. I don’t know anything about these characters, but just based off the music, camerawork, and editing I can almost defiantly tell you that they have a love relationship. The back to back close up shots on their faces let the viewer get a better look at their facial expressions, and with talented actors like this, that is all they need to tell a story. Next, we are met right away with an unpleasant siren noise and an office full of frantic workers. Before hearing a word out of anyone’s mouth, I already know that something important is happening. The second that the man (Who seems to be the leader of that particular office) picks up the phone, the alarm turns off and the office goes completely silent. Based only on the body language and the silence, I know that whatever the person is saying on the other line is very important. Something that I no...

Master Shots

I want to start off this blog post by apologizing for my lateness. I finished editing the video at around 10:30 last night and my parents turn the wifi in the house off at 10 leaving me unable to upload to youtube. Thank you. This blog post is about my MASTER SHOTS. I filmed shots based on Contrast, Parallelism, Symbolism, and Leitmotif. Click here to view my video. Contrast - I chose to show the contrast of two things that are heavily present in my life, School and Theatre. The shot shows me opening a calculus textbook then the shot changes and shows me closing the script for the most recent show I was cast in. Parallelism - For this shot I wanted, again, to include something that I do a lot, play video games. For this shot, I switch between the point of view of my gameplay, to the view of my facial expressions while playing the game. Symbolism - For this shot I wanted to symbolize growth by showing a picture of me when I was only 9 months old, then morphing into...

Observing Camera Angles From "The Office"

Image
          For this assignment, I chose one of my favorite shows, "The Office." The style of this show is completely in a hand-held style, meaning a camera crew is following the actors instead of using a tripod. This show includes many different camera angles, but the three that I will be addressing today, are the High-Angle shot, Over-The-Shoulder shot, and the Reaction shot.           The High-Angle shot is used to show a scene where something happened or is happening over a large space, and where many things are going on at once. In my example, Dwight (The employee the office likes to mess with) is sent on a fake scavenger hunt, that eventually, the entire office is fooled by and helps to look. They have just been given a clue that led them to the warehouse. They work in a paper company, so their warehouse has thousands of pieces of paper, so the people in the office felt the need to check them all. As you can see, th...
