5 Different Shots

Here are 5 videos demonstrating different shots, which I learned about in the last two classes. All are filmed by me :)

Cameo Shot

This cameo shot is of my favorite singer, Sabrina Claudio. She actually graduated from Everglades High School, the school I go to, which I think is very cool. While attending her concert, I dimmed the exposure significantly so the background became basically all black, giving this interesting lighting effect.

Two-Shot

This two-shot is a clip of two of my best friends, Gaby and Joujou, on the eve of my birthday. I like to record candid, natural videos everyday, and it just so happened that this day I recorded a nice two shot of both their faces and upper bodies. 

Extreme Long Shot

Back when flying on an airplane was a casual, risk-free thing, I recorded this extreme long shot on my plane ride back home from Puerto Rico. Although there's only a small window to plant my phone against, I wanted to take one last glimpse and record the beautiful city and ocean before I left for good. I always ask for the window seat for this reason specifically. Luckily, the plane was tilting to the left, so I got a chance to record from this unique angled perspective.

Full Shot

This full shot is another example of my everyday candid videos. This was right after lunch, and my friend Emily wanted to be in this day's video. I quickly backed up to get her entire body in the frame, and I let her do whatever she wanted to do. She decided on doing this... interesting... walk 😂.

Close Up Shot

For years, I've record piano videos of myself whenever I want to document my progress. This day was another close up shot of my hands. I opened the blinds, which I normally don't do,  so the lighting could be better while I recorded. 

The Beginning

 Hello, this is my first blog entry! Today is my first day of AICE Media Studies. I have little knowledge of film, the filmmaking process, and most things in this course's curriculum. I'm taking this class to learn about the media I'm exposed to every day, and to hopefully appreciate it more. It's a bonus that this class helps contribute to my AICE diploma. To the many more entries and endeavors to come.
