Framing a shot: Practice with Stills

Last week myself, Charlotte and Jess were given a camera and unleashed into the school.

Our task was to shoot a series of images of figures, objects and buildings using LS (long shot), CU (close up) using rule of thirds, a long shot and medium shot using leading lines, a low angle shot and an establishing shot. The pictures had to represent a antagonist and a protagonist. 

These were the results;

This was our LS using rule of three.
as you can see it is not perfect, but
as a first attempt we are quite
pleased with this.

This was our LS using leading lines.
We thought this was effective because
it looked quite eerie and as if she was
being watched.




This is the first of our three different view points, showing the antagonist waiting for the protagonist.







 this is our second one which we thought showed that the antagonist was stopping the protagonist from getting away because she could be seen from every angle.

And this showed that she looked away for a moment and the protagonist escaped

This is our establishing shot which looks very bleak and lonely- reflecting how the protagonist feels. We chose this open field because we thought it showed that the protagonist had nowhere to hide.
