Preliminary Exercise 6: Digital Camerawork Organizer: Shot Sizes

-
   Shot sizes is how much of the setting is displayed within a given frame of a video, photo, or animation, hence the size of the shot. There are nine shot sizes that are: extreme close-up (ECU), close-up (CU), medium close-up (MCU), medium -shot (MS),medium-full shot (MFS), Full Shot (FS), Long Shot (LS), Extreme Long Shot (ELS), master shot (MS).











An establishing shot establishes the location and environment of a place. Its purpose is to establish mood and give the audience visual clues such as the time and specific situation. The establishing shot portrays the setting of the shot which is Piper High school. It accomplishes this by showing the tables , trash cans, trees, sky, and painted letters that spell, " Piper High School home of the Bengals." An extreme close-up shot frames a subject closely its purpose is to focus on a specific portion of the subject and to signal a vital sensory moment in a scene. This example of an extreme-close up shot is showing Mel A's makeup. It portrays this by zooming into the eye makeup and showing the colors of the eyeshadow on her eyelid, the length of her lashes due to her mascara, and her eyebrow hairs.
   

My teacher assigned us in groups to create a powerpoint that includes shot sizes and its various examples. In this assignment I worked with Melanie A, Valentina P, Anjuel C. I worked inserted the pictures that we took onto the powerpoint. Valentia P designed the slides of the powerpoint. Anjuel C put the information such as the definition, purpose, and action lines. Working on this powerpoint I learned the definition and purposes of shot sizes.
