The film industry uses storyboards in the planning of movies to set a blueprint for scenes and to visualize a scene in a movie. Film production is the process by which a motion picture is produced. I produced a storyboard with 16 shots (I will show 8 shots today and the other 8 shots tomorrow) demonstrating camera work in scenes. Camerawork is how cameras are used in a film including filming techniques such as shot size, camera angles, camera framing, and camera composition. It is important for students directing films to understand the importance of those techniques because they emphasize the film's storytelling, emotion, and audience engagement. In the first two storyboards, I used the camerawork techniques:
Shot sizes
- Establishing shot
- Master shot
- Wide shot
- Full shot
- Medium shot
- Medium close-up
- Medium-full
Camera angles
- Dutch angle
- High angle
- Ground level
- Shoulder level
- Eye level
- Low angle
Framing
- Two shot
- Point of view
- Single
- Three shot
Composition
- Point
- Space
- Deep focus
- Shallow focus
- Lines
- Balance
Reflection
The objective of this activity is to use a storyboard, organize shots, and define ideas before putting them into production by analyzing camerawork, shot size, angles, framing, and composition. In the process of this activity, I learned that the basic concept of storyboards is used by film production to organize a scene in a film. I created a storyboard to show how different camerawork techniques are used and cooperate to create a certain feeling in a scene. The goal of this exercise is to recognize how audience reactions, media language, and the production, distribution, and consumption processes of the media industry shape the opinions and ideologies expressed in media products. My team prepared for this exercise by researching and gaining more knowledge on camerawork techniques. On day 1 of planning the storyboards, we researched camerawork and we all thought of how we could put the techniques together to create a certain feeling. I worked with 3 other people. Me and Khloe took turns drawing, Peyton and Marley researched together, and we all brainstormed and planned on how to combine the techniques. During this exercise, I learned that the way camerawork techniques are used together can greatly influence the sense of feel of the movie.
