Camera Shots Used
I’ve decided to have a more in depth look at the ways I’ve used the camera movements and shots from my research in my storyboard. I attached a link earlier in my research to a website which showed me how camera movements could be shown in storyboards but I want to compare them to mine and see how I’ve used them.
Extreme Close Ups - I used quite a few extreme close ups to help show the emotions of the character more obviously or to show an important part in the story.
Medium Shots - I used a lot of medium shots when the camera was on the main character because it meant I could show the facial expressions clearly but still have some context to the shot.
Up Shot - I also drew this very weird up shot that you can’t really tell is an up shot but there you go. This shows the bird crap falling onto the character (me)’s head. I’ve also used camera arrows to show where I want the crap to move and how.
Camera Movement
I showed some camera movement. I’ve used a pan and a few zoom in shots. I used the pan to show a close up of what was happening in the character’s hands in a more interesting way and the zoom ins I’ve mainly used for establishing shots to give the viewer some context as to where the scene is or to enhance the humour of the moment like in the bike scene in Napoleon Dynamite I mentioned earlier.
