Last week we completed tables to illustrate our understanding of the mise-en-scene in still images. This week we began to consider the technical construction and particularly camerawork.
Your homework for next lesson is to finish that table.
There are 3 parts to the work:
1. Find/construct a definition for each of the shots listed in the middle column. You may choose to make this a research task and cut & paste the definitions
2. Find image to demonstrate the definitions. Search the web for images that fit the definition AND that you can discuss for column 3
3. Effects - you must explain the effects on the audience for the specific image you have chosen, ie why did the photographer choose that format?
On the table I gave you their are web links to 2 media websites that will give you much of the information. * You must NOT use the pictures from those websites - you must find your own.
| DEFINE: Medium Shot: MS This type of shot gives equal weight (space) to both the subject and the background. This allows us to see the subject in some detail but also the surrounding environment / action | EFFECT: In this shot we can see how LC’s character is dressed and how he is feeling via his posture and facial expression. We can also see the location, the lighting and the rain behind him push him forward. |
Good luck & see you next week
