Specific Camera Shots/Angles

             

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Why We Did It ‧₊˚✩彡 
            

Welcome back to my lavish blog!

Today, I will be analyzing some of the shots from our filming day blogs:

 Ground Level

        Okay, so we went with a ground-level shot to show Ivy walking toward the meet-up spot with an ominous atmosphere as you cannot see her face in this shot, making the viewer wonder what she will find at the agreed location while also having a foreboding feeling. This shot helps create suspense within the audience as she slowly heads toward her doom.  Furthermore, the tension in this scene is palpable as the audience has a feeling that something BAD will happen but cannot do anything about it. Overall, this camera

angle allows for the story to maintain its mysterious air before the climax unfolds.

Establishing Shot

       You might be wondering why we did an establishing shot in the middle of the project? However, this is the beginning of a setting change which led us to choosing an establishing shot to help introduce the NEW scenery of this setting. This allows the audience to know we are onto the second part of our project. It also demonstrates that there will be new action happening here as it sets up the scene and helps develop Ivy’s character as a brave and determinant one due to her persisting on even if the place seems shady. Moreover, it also develops Kevin and Stuart as it highlights their personalities and intentions through their choice of place!

Point of View Shot (POV)

      For the last example, we chose to do a POV shot of Ivy getting kidnapped by Kevin and Stuart as it illustrates to the viewer what is the last thing she sees before the unthinkable happens to her. This also allows the audience to feel a strong sense of connection to Ivy as they are witnessing this event through HER eyes. Not through anyone else’s or even from a 3rd person perspective, but HERS which can allow for a shocking atmosphere as it is so sudden and something she never expected. In addition, it exemplifies the change in power as Kevin and Stuart are the ONLY ones in frame, and on top of that, the camera is tilted slightly at a low angle further emphasizing the power imbalance between Ivy and the antagonists.
