This is a medium long shot. Camera angle

lined up straight in order for subject to

appear in the middle of the shot. Straight

angle interprets rule of thirds by placing

subject in the middle and its surroundings

at the right and left sides of the frame. This

angle was chosen by my group to show that

the subject is alone in the frame. The frame

and angle allow this thought by showing

the background/setting to the left and right

side of the frame. This shot is effective in

conveying the story because the subject is

looking down at the floor and not up at the

camera, subject looks vulnerable and lonely

which interprets a real life like story line .

This is also a medium long shot. Camera angle

is also lined up in the middle however

variation is used in this shot. For example

the rule of thirds has been applied in shot.

Subject is not standing straight but is

holding the bar in a slanted position in

order to take up two thirds of the frame.

Therefore leaving the left third with space

to show shallow long hallway background.

To suggest that subject has been walking

along the corridor. This shot was chosen by

my group to build up the story line using

two medium long shots of two separate

characters to suggest possible link between

the two. In this sense this shot was

effective in conveying our storyline.

This is also another MLS. The camera

angle is a low angle shot which

compliments and provides height for

subject. This also allows subject to be

in a power position. Subject's arm is on

left side again to imply a continuous

movement from shot before this one.

Subject is also looking ahead to signify

that they are looking at something or

someone.

My group chose this angle to conduct and

show plan/future of storyline. This shot

is effective because it allows the

viewer to predict and make

assumptions of the next shot.

This is a high angle shot however is also

representing the 2nd subjects point of view.

This is portrayed by subject looking up,

showing that they are no longer alone and

that they are now looking at someone

ahead of them. Subject takes up most of

thirds in the frame which makes known

they are focus in the frame and first thing

the viewers look at. This angle was chosen

by my group to confirm link between both

subjects in the storyline. This helps the

storyline by placing both subjects in story

line and therefore opening up to a variation

for next shots. Also it allows next shots to

keep its audience interested. Therefore the

storyline is not boring.

This is an over the shoulder shot. This

shot provides the audience with a

thought of conversation between the

two subjects. Background shown in

frame to display where subject

2(rochelle) has come from. Dark light

is in the background however light on

the two subjects portrays focus on

them from audiences 1st view. We

chose this shot to help develop our

storyline and connection between the

two which makes this shot effective in

the storyline.

This is also a over the shoulder shot. This

shot allows us to see subject 1 and

allows us to use rule of thirds to adjust

shot by showing part of the next shot.

For example the door to the right of the

frame is the door that will be used in the

next shot. However door is in darker

lighting than subjects so the audiences

eye will not be drawn to the door at first

hand neither take it in as a clue given

for the next shot. This shot is effective in

conveying the storyline because it

shows both subjects in conversation and

provides slight information on the next

shot.

This is a two shot. This shot permits us to

effectively use the rule of thirds by place

the to subjects separately to the right

and left side of the frame and letting the

classroom be portrayed in the frame.

Therefore only allowing the viewer to

see the focus on 1st sight. We chose this

shot because it shows our audience

what we want them to see and allows

the classroom not the subjects to be the

focus in the frame. This shot is effective

in conveying the storyline because it

allows the storyline to be fun and

creative and not boring.

This is also a two shot. This shot lets the

two subjects both fill up the frame

and both be the focus of the frame

because the rule of thirds is shared

out equally between both of them. My

group chose this shot because it

presents the facial expressions and

emotions of both subjects. Which

shows confusion of empty classroom.

This shot is effective in the storyline

because it shows a fun side to the

storyline and creates dramatic twist

on the storyline.

This last shot is also a two shot. This shot

executes the rule of thirds by using the

two subjects and the door and splitting

them equally in the thirds. This shot was

chosen because it shows the quick

departure and movement of the

subjects and also adds rhythm and

some tempo to the end of the storyline.

This shot is effective in conveying the

story line because it shows the end of

the storyline by one subject closing the

door and the camera being in the

interior and not the exterior of the

classroom.
