Storyboarding Camerawork: Shot Sizes

 Introduction

             It can be said that camera shot sizes play a crucial role in a film’s ability to tell a story by setting up the background, characters, character dynamics, and plot. Shot sizes can vary from an establishing shot to an extreme close up. It extremely important to know not only how to take specific shots, but also the differences between shots. Different camera shot sizes are used all the time in film, but there’s a time and place for each shot. An establishing shot, for instance, introduces the setting and the world of the movie for viewers. For this assignment, the objective was to practice taking camera shots in different sizes to later implement them in my movie. 













Reflection 

           Working with my group on this assignment was an enjoyable experience. We split up the work evenly to ensure it would be fair, but also so we could do the assignment at a better pace. Technology played a critical factor in this assignment. We used our iPhones to take the pictures and uploaded them all to a laptop, where we put them on slides. Key concepts of this assignment was the different in shot sizes and how to create those differences using your camera. Taking different camera shots helped me better understand shot sizes and how they are used in a film.
