Working with Sound

 I decided to try to mess with sounds to see what sounds I could use and how to blend all the sounds together. This was so that I could practise using the software for when I needed to make my trailer. The sounds I used included footsteps, the sound of nature and an evil laugh. This is how it blended together:

Different types of shots

Long shot (LS) or Wide Shot (WS):

Shows the whole scene, all subjects/ elements are in the shot, establishes a setting. Known as an establishing shot.

Medium Shot (MS):

Action shot, generally from the waist up, a shot where you are able to identify with a subject, character or thing.

Close Up (CU):

Head and shoulders shot; the emotion shot; an expression shot; the detail shot, the reaction shot.

Extreme Close Up (ECU);

Only a part of the face or body or element fills the whole shot. A part of the subject usually dominates the screen.

High Angle Shot (HA):

Camera looking downwards, generally shot from just above head height. Can make a subject look vulnerable.

A monopod can help for this shot.

Birds Eye View (BEV);

Very high camera angle shot downwards towards the subject from a building, ladder or balcony.

Low Angle Shot (LA);

Camera tilted looking upward towards a subject. Can make a subject look powerful.

Worms Eye View (WEV)

Very low camera angle shot looking up from ground level. A mini tripod comes in handy for this type of shot.

Point of View Shot (POV):

A subjective shot taken from the point of view of a participant or character in the action. Eg. Subject looking at a watch.

Action Shot:

Generally a mid shot capturing the action. Eg running down stairs. A POV or reaction shot can follow.

React ion Shot:

Reaction shots result from an action or series of action shots. They allow an audience to identify more closely with a

character. There are physical reaction shots and emotional reaction shots.

Anticipat ion Shot:

An anticipation shot is generally a close-up shot and gets the audience ready for and action shot.

Two Shot:

Generally a profile shot of 2 people facing, possibly engaging in conversation. Can be shot from a variety of angles.

Over The Shoulder Shot:

Generally used for dialogue exchange. Head and shoulder shot of the speaker with shoulder and back of head of

listener in foreground. This shot can be a variation of a Two Shot.

Rever se Shot:

The reverse of the Over the Shoulder Shot.

Cut Away Shot:

A shot that cuts away to action that is not part of a sequence but is related.

 

Some examples of different shots.

 

The first thing i did when creating my examples showing different types of shots was choosing a subject to record and then record them, showing some of the different types of shots I will consider using when creating my trailer. I then used the program Serif MoviePlus, which was simple to use. I had to time the shots and see where it would be necessary  to cut out certain sections of each clip. This is how it turned out:
