Reacting to Other Students' Shots
I viewed and commented on two of my classmates' "12 Camera Shot" blog posts. I viewed Lenka's blog post first. After viewing all of her camera shots I commented:
" I really enjoyed the variation of shots you were able to include in this blog post. You used a multitude of settings and subjects. My favorite shot was the close-upshot, where you focused on the dragonfly. To me, it was reminiscent of a shot from BBC's "Planet Earth". Another shot I enjoyed was the cutaway shot because I got to personally experience it and it allows for a diverse set of emotions in one shot. The high-angle shot was quite interesting as it created an ominous, prying feel. The last shot I liked was the dolly shot because it was actually shot through the window of my car, which I was driving, to get the smooth effect of the shot without an actual dolly."
I then went on to observe Lily's blog post. Lily used very similar shots as Lenka but was still able to create completely different segments of film. I commented on her post:
"I was really happy watching each of your shots and reading the descriptive anecdotes associated with each of them. One shot I enjoyed was the tilt shot, as it was longer and required more effort to create an interesting viewpoint. The over-the-shoulder shot was cool to watch too, because it provides a like-like, yet sneaky view. The flash shot was hilarious, as Erin unexpectedly pops into the frame. The follow shot was very smooth and personable. Finally, the "point-of-view" shot was funny to watch and I liked the variance in subject."
Overall, I'm really pleased as to how all of the shots came out from both Lily and Lenka. I was so interesting to see how a camera angle can set the mood and tone of the scene.
