Framing a shot: practice with stills

1. LS USING LEADING LINES
CREATES THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT, AND THE
EMOTION OF WONDER AND THRILL IN THE AUDIENCE
AS THEY WILL BE DETERMINED TO WATCH
WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS.

 

2. LONG SHOT
USED TO AN OPENING OF THE FILM, SETS THE LOCATION OR STARTING LOCATION OF THE MAIN CHARACTER'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE FILM/STORY.

CLOSE UP USING THE RULE OF THIRDS
CLOSE UP OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S FACE SHOWING THEIR EMOTION AND
FEELINGS AT THE MOMENT OF THE SHOT.
MOSTLY ITS AN SHOT OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S FACE AND SHOULDERS, HOWEVER SOMETIMES THE INDIVIDUAL'S FACE ONLY.

THREE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES
Focuses on one thing that's is very important at the moment of the film, this show is used when two or more characters in the film is meeting up at that location and shows the different angles they enter the site. For examples; one person enters from the right- handed side of the sculpture, then another enters from the left-handed side of the sculpture and both are meeting at the centre of the sculpture.

ECU- EXTREME CLOSE UP
SHOWS THE EMOTION AND FEELING OF THE FACE OR IMPORTANT OBJECT IN THE FILM.
OR USED IN THE OPENING OF THE FILM TO BE AN STARTING POINT OF IMPORTANTS WITHIN THE FILM, FOR EXAMPLES IN A MURDER, THRILLER FILM THE KNIFE THAT KILLS SOMEONE, AS IT SAYING TO THE AUDIENCE WHO'S THIS KNIFE BELONGS TO. THIS WILL CREATE THE THRILL AND MYSTERY OF THE FILM AND ATTRACTS THE AUDIENCE'S  ATTENDION TO WATCH THE FILM.

MEDIUM SHOT (MS) USING LEADING LINES
SAME AS A LONG SHOT USING LEADING LINES HOWEVER THE MEDIUM SHOT IS MORE FOCUSED ON THE INDIVIDUAL WITH LITTLE BACKGROUND.
BUT STILL SHOWS THE DIRECTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S MOVEMENT IN THE MOVIE.

 

LS- LOW ANGLE SHOT
CREATES THE INDIVIDUAL OR OBJECT DOMINANT IN THE SHOT, THAT THE PERSON OR OBJECT IS IMPORTANT AND FOCUS OF THAT MOMENT IN THE FILM. SHOWS THE PERSON'S EMOTION AND FEELINGS AT THAT MOMENT OF THE SHOT, CREATES A SCARY, THRILLING ATMOSPHERE AS SHOWN OF THE FACE OF THE PERSON.

ESTABLISHING SHOT
SHOWS THE PROBLEM OR SETTING IN THE MOVIE, THAT CREATES A THRILLING, ACTION ATMOSPHERE.
