Attempts at different Camera shots

Today I decided to test some of my skills when it comes to getting ready to film my opening scene, Here are a few examples That I Tried...

Steadicam

This is mainly used in all films to prevent the camera from shaking all the time. Most film makers put the camera on a sturdy Tri-pod to stop it from falling over as cameras are quite heavy. On my attempt I used my IPhone to place this on a suitable Book to take the picture.







Zoom

This camera shot is normally used in films to look into more depth of a building in a background, or a person within a city centre. To do this the lens on cameras have insane resolutions, meaning it can zoom in very far without the quality of the shot becoming blurred. For my attempt I mainly moved the camera forward. 




Super-Zoom

This shot is used in some films to express the facial features of a character on how they react to a certain event. They normally do this in a similar way to a normal zoom but they may move the camera up to the point of point-blank. For my attempt I mainly just again moved the camera as close as I could get it.




Shot Reverse Shot+Use of the 180 degree Rule

For these two shots are the Shot-reverse shot which looks at the perspective of two People/objects as they engage in a conversation, this is always used in films as their is always dialogue to present the characters feelings or attitudes. Also the most important rule of filming is the 180 degree rule which means that you can only Film in the area of a semi-circle, you cannot go pass a certain line or it become confusing for the audience of the actors surroundings.

High Angle

This shot is sometimes used in films to imply or suggest power or inferiority, sometimes it could be a crane shot to allow a large landscape to be filmed etc. For my attempt I used my camera and placed it above the Model which can imply that it is very small whereas if you zoom it can show that it is quite large.
