Preliminary Task Review

In our preliminary task, we used nearly all of the basic camera shots, from close ups, to long shots, to mid shots and even extreme close ups. There was a wide variety of camera shots that were used in our task, each shot was meant to represent a different view to the audience. So the close ups were meant to draw the attention to the audience of the actors facial exdxpressions. While our mid shots were used to show the actors facial expressions and body language, to give the audience a better understanding of how the actor was feeling. We used a long shot, when the actor was entering the building to show the scenery and setting, so the audience could have an idea of where this scene would be taking place. We used a two shot, where the two actors were in the frame, this shot was used to express the relationship the actors had with each other. Half way through the actors coversation, we used low/high angle shots, to show which actor was superior and which one was inferior to the audience.
