Camera Angles

Long shots

Excellent for telling stories, long shots allow us to see not only our subject but also their environment. Depending on how a long shot is set, we may find a person surrounded by their work ect.

The dutch angle                                                                                                                                                                                  Becoming increasingly criticised for its modern overuse in still photography, Dutch angles can help to tell us something about the film or its subject, it's not entirely right. Typically used to depict the world on its side, Dutch angles can be artfully utilised to tell us that something is wrong or the actor realised something.

High angle                                                                                                                                                                                       Looking at the exact opposite situation, the high angle can be used to make a subject appear small or vulnerable. Commonly known as the ‘bird’s-eye view’, shots like these may be used to signal that a subject is in danger or has lost dominance in their environment. Add a dutch angle and something bad is almost certainly about to happen.                                                                                                                                                       Extreme Close up                                                                                                                                                                              The most intimate of all shots, the extreme close-up, goes beyond the standard close-up by focusing on a single feature or object. We may see a drop of sweat drip down a actor or check or the fear in a pair of eyes.

Tuesday 26th Reflection-Playback

What Game did I find challenging and why: I think long ball was very difficult because you have to try to kick it as hard as you can to distract the opposite team so I could run to the end and try not to get hit


One of the goals was to listen what skills do you need to be a good listener: To make sure i'm only listening to the teacher and not the person next to me



What communication skills did I need when playing long ball: I need to call out if I can get the ball and help my team when and by listening for my name to be called so I could throw the ball to my teammate/s


What skill do I need to work on for my next lesson?: To help my teammates and not just move out of the way if the ball is coming towards me 


What is a personal goal I wanted to work on today:
Be confident in the game and not let people go in front of me and just be confident 

What did the class play today?

What games did you play: I was unfortunately not able to participate in the games but I was watching them which was kinda fun.

Which one did you enjoy the most and why?: Out of bench ball and silly banana was bench ball it was really exiting to watch, because there were some people who were being funny and i had a good laugh,

What game did ya find challenging and why: i think bench ball was a bit difficult because you weren't allowed to move with the ball and it gave the other team advantages, and it took some people a while to throw the ball because the other team was jumping around a lot in your face or just jumping in front of your teammates so yo can't throw the ball to them.

One of the goals was to listen...what skills do need to be a good listener: Listening to the teacher or who ever not talking while the person up front is talking, don't distract other people while they are listening. not doing anything silly or dumb.Looking at the person talking to show you are listening.

What communication skills do I need to work on for my next lesson: Listen to the teammate who has a plan don't go in for all the hits and throws give your team/mates a chance and talk with them more, and make a plan.

Movie magic

This term my class and another have decided to do something called movie magic.Movie magic is just people making movies for fun or education, we have to get into three or four members per group,
and that group has to decided on what genre they will be doing, or what roles would be played and who's the camera person and ect.


Genre: There are a load lot of genre's like action, Romcom, Comedy, Romance, blockbuster and so on.

The movie you created: My group and I thought of doing horror, but we realised it needed something, so we thought we should make it a Comedy Horror it was super fun to film, we would have made it longer if we could but the movie limit was one minute. My group was amazing there were some hiccups in the middle but we manged and we got through it and the result was amazing.


What is the second movie you are making?: We are making a fairy tale movie so we got the option to choose any fairy tale ever. From princess and the pea to Rapunzel and so on. My group thought it would be cool to mix mash two fairy tales and those are Goldy locks and the three bears plus The three little pigs and put them together you get goldy locks and the three pigs. we haven't got to film it yet, Because we still need to write the script and ect.


Camera angle's: Camera angle's are the most important thing why because to hook the audience when you have more angles the more the audience is going to get hooked just not to much or the audience is going to get sick but if you want cool angle's here is a link >:Cool camera angles
