Types of Shots

This is a two shot. It is used when two people need to be shown at the same time. This can include conversations. It also shows the relationship between the two characters as you can see their body language towards eachother.

This is a medium shot. It shows the top half of a persons body. It is used to show what a person is doing with their arms if they are not walking or doing anything with their legs so the only thing you need to see is their arms.

This is a long shot. You can see her whole body and everything she is doing. This shot helps you see what the person is doing and a bit of what is happening around them.

Horror Posters

This is the poster for saw. You can tell it is a horror film because of the black background. There is a close up of the side of a womens face. She has a big, metal contraption on her head which looks terrifying and unpleasant. Also there is a shadow on her face making it look mysterious and unknown. Also the tagline "How much blood will you shed to stay alive" shows that it is about people in horrible painful conditions where they will have to try and survive. The name of the film is in a simple, bold text in the colour red which represents blood.

Media

I chose media studies as I find it interesting and I am hoping to pursue a career in the media. I am interested in filming and film editing and this lesson can help me improve on techniques on how to make the films look better.
