Media Studies

 The two blog posts I looked at were Sam credits and Asia studies.  The shots that Sam took were POV and extreme closeup. The extreme closeup shot he took was amazing and it had plenty of detail to showcase how much emotion that was put into the shot and how his eyes are able to tell the viewer what’s exactly happening during the moment, it looks like something you would see in a action movie where the protagonist is put in a situation of where they have to make a serious choice that could lead to a consequence in the long run. So this shot is pretty impactful in my opinion. Another shot that Sam shoot was a POV shot, the shot looks like he’s greeting or welcoming someone inside. It gives a sort of chill vibe that feels calm and relaxed in a way that makes you feel at peace. The Shots that Asia took were Establishing and extreme closeup. The shot she took was establishing and it shows a building. This shot feels heavy atmospheric and it gives a sort of life in a way. The sky a...

 1. Close up. Close-up is a camera angle at which the camera is shown closely at the characters or persons face.

Point of view is a camera angle is a first person perspective of what the character sees, it’s intention is that usually a POV is used as a persons eyes to show them and the viewer what they see in front of them. I like this shot because it makes you feel like the character...

1. Point of View Shot  Most movies that use this sort of shot mostly stems from Horror and REC is one of them, where everything is a complete point of view shot in almost the entirety of the movie, from the beginning to the end. This POV helps create terror and a sense of fear or hopelessness due to how severe the situation is, and to describe how they are fighting to survive through the whole experience. It’s almost heavily realistic due to how well the environment goes with the point of view shots. https://youtu.be/pRsUCalAMHk?si=T3T4TD63prOjP0hX 2. Aerial Shot One of the most famous films when it comes to Aerial Shots would have to be star wars, it perfectly captures the atmosphere and lets us see everything that is happening on screen, a good example from one of the Star Wars movies would have to be the opening scene of “A new hope.” It jumps straight to the action and shows the scenery on what’s happening from the outside right now so that the audience can grasp an idea about ...
