5 Master Shots Commentary

Contrast: For the Contrast shot, a painting of a palm tree was zoomed in on; later, a real palm tree was zoomed out on. These two shots were connected to show contrast between a fake and a real palm tree. Parallelism: For the Parallelism shot, two different videos with related events are put back to back. A football player in a game and a cheerleader stunting were used. The video goes back and forth between the two events to show parallelism. Leit Motif : For the Leit Motif shot, Berluche went up to a sad boy and threw his phone out of his hand acting as a bully while sad music played in the background. Simultaneity: For the Simultaneity shot, the video cut between two different people walking in opposite directions on the stairs. I went down the stairs and Berluche went up. We were doing similar actions but going in opposite directions. Symbolism: For the Symbolic shot, we took a video of the Haitian flag in Nations Square and tilted the camera downward to show Antwo...

Commentary on Movie Angles (Week 4)

Review of a few Camera Angles in the Movie Black Panther (2018) From Producer Kevin Feige The movie I chose to comment on was Black Panther (2018) because I didn't really get it the first time I watched it so I decided it would be in my best interest to rewatch. This movie is a Sci-Fi/ Action about an African country, Wakanda that was hidden away from the rest of the world since its discovery. Wakanda is made up almost completely from the most powerful metal in the world, vibranium. This precious and powerful metal attracts a man who intends to use the Vibranium for evil purposes. The throne of Wakanda is also challenged throughout the movie and the question of whether or not the vibranium falls into the wrong hands stays with the viewers throughout the movie. In one the introductory scenes. a shuttle from Wakanda is shown from a High Angle. As it rises into the sky, people gather at the bottom and look up at it in awe. The High Angle makes the shuttle se...

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. The video makes viewers believe there's something intimidating and powerful about the building since it's being seen from the very bottom. The Reaction shot was enjoyable because Berluche's reaction to something off camera. Viewers get curious and get the vibe that he was reacting to something surprising. Finally, Berluche's Perspective shot draws attention to the action of his hand on the water fountain. It makes viewers feel in sync with him turning on the water fountain. On Miguel's blog, I mentioned how I ...

Flash Shot

In order to create a Flash shot, I took a video of a tile on the ceiling. Since Flash shots are usually used in horror movies, I thought the tile with scary looking masks painted on them would be something I could use an example.

Dolly Shot

In order to create a Dolly Shot, I tried to move the camera along as I walked down the hallway so that it could look like the cameras moving through the hallway itself.

Head-On Shot

In order to create a Head-On shot, I tried to come up with how I was going to get action to come directly at the camera, so I decided to roll up a paper ball and throw it at the camera...
