Hi Blog, for my AICE Media class, we were given an assignment entitled "Camera Shots Quiz."
The assignment was to choose two inanimate objects and create a story using the shots and angles that Mrs. Stoklosa had taught us prior to the quiz. We had to use shots such as an establishing long shot, a long shot, medium shots, an extreme close-up, a point of view shot, high angle, low angle, etc.
Since we had already had a lecture based on how to name different shots and angles, I did not find this assignment to be too difficult. The more complex idea of the quiz was establishing why certain shots were chosen and the reasoning behind them. Another difficult aspect of the quiz was coming up with an idea of what our story was going to be about and how we would replicate it into just 15 shots. Despite these backtracks, my partner and I brainstormed and we ultimately came up with an idea. (The paragraph below is a description of the summary.)
Our story consists of a girl and boy (they are represented using highlighters.) They are both seen walking when their paths cross and they run into each other. The pink highlighter who is acting as our girl fell over so our yellow highlighter who is acting as our guy attempts to help her get up off the ground. As soon as they lock eyes, they immediately fall in love. Our story ends with our guy giving the girl his number as the closing.
Overall, I thought our project had a gone smoothly. It had only taken one class period to create the shots. Since we already had an idea on why the certain shot was created, it was not difficult to write a description on why the shot was taken in its particular angle. I must say we did a good job creating these shots applying our knowledge of the lesson. However, our story was rather rushed and simplistic since we took an extended period of time to create the story. It ended up working out okay though since the main idea of the quiz was that we know how to create specific shot types to accurately illustrate our idea and develop tone which I believe we did.
Below you will see a link to our final project, I hope that you enjoyed! :)
