Use of the Camera- Evaluation




My task in this assignment is to effectively and appropriately use a camera. Firstly the story i was trying to tell is that a character known as Clive had been set a bounty on, by a character called Dennis. So firstly we introduced a long and rolling shot in the first clip as Clive was running away from Dennis. We used these types of shot as it was the appropriate shot to use a a character was running from a stimuli, which in our case was Dennis. Therefore our choices were successful as it set scene and setting. Our cameraman, did fortunately hold the shot steady making the clip look very professional. We also did frame our shot appropriately as well, from a window on the 2nd floor of a building.Secondly, in our second clip we used a point of view & close up shot. We used this because it was the in our second clip because it can allow our audience to build up tension as they are looking at man that has injured himself. The choices turned out successful as the audience were also able to identify who was who in this clip. Our cameraman who was Dennis did the point of view shot perfectly as he shake the camera, giving the realism of the point of view shot. We framed this on a small garden. Finally, our last shot was the over the shoulder shot. We used this because it was appropriate as Alexandra was able to help Clive as he found him on the floor, injured. Our choices was not as successful as we thought it would as Alexandra was blocking a bit of the shot with her shoulder, therefore, the audience would not know what is going on, in the shot. To improve this, the cameraman should of taken the shot further away so the audience is able to see everything that is happening in the shot. Overall i think the positive elements in our film was the first and second shot as we used the most appropriate shots for the film. Also all shots were recorded with care, therefore making the shot steady so it looked professional. However to improve our film, i think that we should, improve our last scene by taking the shot further away, making the shot very clear.
