Week 3 & 4 (Blog Comments)

I commented on Berluche Prunier and Miguel Rodriguez's blog. On Berluche's Blog, I mentioned how I enjoyed his Cameo, Low-Angle, Reaction, and Perspective shot. I enjoyed his Cameo shot because he was in an all black outfit pressed against a white wall so he reversed the roles of what a cameo shot is. This makes viewers notice Berluche more because the contrast makes him pop. His Low- Angle shot allowed to building to give off more of a dramatic feel.

Medium Long Shot

In order to create a Medium-Long shot, I made sure my shot was wider than a medium shot, but longer than a wide shot. The trophy case is the subject in the frame and off to the side its angled so that there could be a sense of depth in longitude in the background.

Full Shot

In order to create a Full shot, I took a video of the Trojan statue from head to toe. In the frame, all surroundings could be seen. A long shot is incorporated into the frame.
