Long/Mid Shot:
This is shot is a long/mid shot of the two actors/actresses looking over the hill, I think this shot is effective as it not only captures the characters but also establishes the location and is a visually exciting piece of mise en scene.
This shot is particularly effective as it captures what the characters are seeing. This brings the audience closer to the characters as they are seeing and feeling what they are feeling and seeing. This shot shares the moment with the audience, they then relate this to their own experiences.
This shot is a mid-shot of the characters, this shot has the same effect as the shot above but is closer in and more focused, it also uses the rule of thirds, particularly drawing attention to their heads as well as the cathedral in the background.
Here I have used a close up of the characters, this is useful for showing emotion and expression as well as getting a clear broad view of the character's faces. Here I have again used the rule of thirds, this time it is more prominent, highlighting/focusing on the characters eyes which shows deep and meaningful emotion.
This is an example of the long/mid shot but on the bench adding the same effect but with different mise en scene.
To add to another post:
ReplyDelete1) Cultural references, for example how you are representing aspects of contemporary Britain mentioning in a sense heritage images. the cathedral spire is a British icon and of course identifies Norwich as the locaton (local audiences) will recognise this. Try a mini questionnaire around 6th form....ask 10-12 people mixed gender.
2) Goodwin's theory, how the images either amplify or illustrate the lyrics.
3) What mood are you trying to achieve
4) References to how these images reference the genre of the single; any intertextual references - identify any texts that have inspired you.
