We have now had a chance to refresh our camerawork and sound skills following the summer holidays and first term of relative indolence in practical skills. This post is in order to look at and evaluate the composition and effectiveness of some of the shots we took.
This first shot uses perspective well, and used the correct angle for filming the hallway, keeping the foregrounded figure (Max) central to the shot and the action just to his right. I would say that this shot is one of the more well composed we took.
This shot is less effective in my opinion. The idea was to get a low angle shot making Max look more formidable and dominant. We were unable to get the camera low enough and as such the shot suffered, becoming fairly ineffective in its aim.The intended symmetry of the shot is also off, adding to its general air of failure.
This shot has strengths and weaknesses. It is well lit and shot interestingly, keeping the figures central and the background chairs as a feature. However the shot appears to be slightly off kilter, distracting from the better areas of the shot, something that ought to be rectified in any shot that goes into the actual trailer.
