Welcome to day 1 of camera work! Today I took pictures for my storyboard. Me and my partner took pictures for Page 1 & 2. In these pictures they demonstrate the shots that we took time to draw/plan out. Camerawork is the way cameras are used in a movie, it's important in film because it helps show emotions and the story unraveling to the audience. Shot sizes are how much is being portrayed in the setting or subject within the frame. Camera angles are the amount of space the audience sees in a frame. While framing is the placement and position of the subjects in your shots. And last but not least composition is the arrangement of visual information in the camera frame. Isn't that a lot!? Now here are some examples of each. Shot size: Wide shot, Camera Angle: Shoulder level, Framing: One shot, Composition: Deep Focus. In camerawork film production the person that's responsible is the cinematographer. And guess what? Rachel Morrison is one of the most well-known ones. Two of her major films are "DOPE" and "Some Girls". She won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best Cinematographer. Me and my team have to develop camera work skills to create our film so we can understand the techniques and all that is required to make our movie come out great and get a perfect score. Knowing the shot sizes, compositions, and certain angles are very important!!
*REFLECTION*
I learned a lot from this assignment, and to be honest I was very excited!! I gained more knowledge on what I need to improve my movie and I can't wait to start filming. And that includes on composition and framing, two things that I really needed to get under control. The locations consisted of inside a classroom, the school hallways, and the principal office. The characters were a boy and girl, the girl being named Chloe and the boy Jay. The tone of our page 1 & 2 was tense with a structured/disciplined effect. The students were working in class and when it was time to turn papers in Jay stole Chloe's paper, Chloe dashed out the class chasing after Jay when he ran out the class to escape, they got into an altercation and security had to break them up. Afterwards they made they're way to the principal's office where they faced punishment. This most definitely was an easy and fun experience that'd id totally be down to do again. We accomplished the goal of our assignment and also got better. We executed our task by planning our storyboard and analyzing everything we'd need, after we communicated on the shots when it was time to take the pictures and did them. All with the help of my team member Richard S. Richard drew and while me and him communicated on the shots. He took the pictures while I helped directed for picture taking. We used paper and pencils, and color pencils. We used the school laptops and a phone. I learned everything that supposed to be learned for this assignment.
