Cinematography Exercise - Evauation

In our first trial film we managed to include most of the shots that we needed; the two shots we did not do were the tracking and rolling shots because we found it difficult to do them correctly the filming took place on school grounds outside. In our group we rotated the jobs so that everyone had a go at different jobs.

In all our shots we tried using each one effectively by acting drama which would suit the type of shot and relate it to a similar way it would be used in a real film.

For our first shot we done a 'long shot', we just done a simple dance involving myself and Leon, which was successful and didn't need any significant adjustments, the only thing i noticed was that our camera was tilted.

Secondly we done a pan shot, in this shot we filmed three of us doing different ninja moves at a time as the camera panned around, to improve this example of a pan shot i think it would have been better if we had someone running or walking as we panned.

Next we done an extreme close up of Gottfried face, where we started from his eyes and went down to his mouth.

For our fourth shot we done a close up of Gottfried's face. We shot it like this to show the detail of his facial expression.

After that, we done a medium shot of a small group fight,
