2 Different Girls

Hello girls and guys! Recently, me and my class practiced taking different camera shots and angles. In this vlog, I will be looking at 2 of my classmates shots and giving some thoughts and opinions. Let's get into the shots

Girl #1: Jasmine Finesse

Shot 1: Cowboy Shot

This was my favorite shot she had taken as it did a great job managing focus on the subject, and portraying emotion. The background wasn't distracting, and the subject was perfectly in frame.

Shot 2: Full body shot

This was my least favorite shot she took as it felt un-fluid and overall stiff to watch. I believe her goals was to show the emotion of her subject, but the body language wasn't completely necessary to do so. A better shot to do it was a medium shot or possibly a close-up.

Girl #2: Jonnele Mends

Shot 1: Extremely Wide Shot/Wide shot

This was one of my favorites as I think she did a perfect job portraying the subject (me) as small but still important. The use of the wide shot helps show the environment completely, but the color difference and centering of the subject helps place sense of focus onto the shot.

Shot 2: POV full shot

My second favorite shot from her is the POV full shot. It perfectly shows the dynamic between me and the subject who's POV it's taken from. The shot also portrays my body language and emotion completely through the use of the full shot. 

    Thank you so much for reading today's blog. It was really interesting to look at the work of others and see how they created different feelings and atmospheres through the use of camera angles and shots. I really am taking inspiration and plan to learn how to improve my shots to better convey emotion. See you next week on "Just a Girl"!
