- 2. Firstly On the following slides you will see that particular words are in bold. For each bold word provide a still image from a TV Drama to illustrate the point being made. Consider the presentation of this work too. When you have completed the power point email it to me at: nrabey@gordano.sch.uk
- 3. Shot Distance This is the most simple variable. Normal shots include long shot, medium shots and close-ups. Extreme close ups and extreme long shots are less frequently used. When a long shot becomes a medium shot and vice versa is debateable.
- 5. Extreme long shot This shot helps to show the layout and size of the world. This is done by showing the foreground, middle ground and background together. Here the mountain in the background if massive in comparison to the characters in the foreground. This gives perspective on not only the physical size of the mountain but the size of journey that the characters will have to travel. The middle-ground helps to link the two together by adding depth to the shot. The sun setting in the east helps to add the aspect of time running out and combined with the sizing and the journey the sense that the adventure feels impossible.
- 6. Shot Distance This is used to influence the viewers sympathies. The normal distance is medium shot to close up; which gives a comfortable relationship with the person on the screen for the audience. Extreme close ups are used to make the viewer feel uncomfortable, with an evil character for instance, or to emphasise the tension felt by the person being interviewed.
- 7. Medium shot
- 8. Medium shot This medium shot has a blurred background so the audience can see the setting of the shot but no detailing is shown, this allows all of the viewers attention to be on the foreground. The foreground shows the characters upper body as well as the weapon he is holding. As the bow is in the front it is the object that stands out the most and shows that it has more importance. Also seeing the whole of the characters upper body helps the viewer understand what action is being taken place.
- 9. Close up
- 10. Close up This close up is chosen to show the significance of the characters appearance in the scene. Similar to the medium shot the background is out of focus but this time there is an element of lighting to give a powerful effect and suggest that the character has and almost holy appearance. This close up also shows the characters hand to show that the object in his hands shows and importance and is a part of the character. It also gives a chance for a good look at the characters expression and this helps to see what the character is feeling. In this shot the character has a rather serious expression. Seeing this expression in a close proximity shows that there is a solid reason for the characters feelings in the scene.
- 11. Moving Images There is some implication that seeing closely is seeing better. Sometimes a camera person will zoom in on a face if there is some suggestion in an interview of lying or guilt. If an interviewee is placed in partial shade this can increase the drama because it gives the impression the viewer is privileged to hear some significant, secret information.
- 12. Zoom in shot
- 13. Zoom in shot A zooming in shot has two jobs. The first is to put emphasis on a particular area of the shot. The other is portray the characters emotions; This is done by bringing the characters face closer to the screen so the audience can see their expression but also to show the focus the character has on the area he is looking at. In this scene the zoom in shot reveals the characters realisation of what is to happen next. It also shows the he understands what needs to be done.
- 14. Partial Shade
- 15. Partial Shade Partial shade is a lighting technique to help set the mood & atmosphere of a shot. Here the shading covers part of the characters face so his identity is hidden. This makes the audience question why the character wants to remain hidden and to what he looks like. This draws the audiences attention to the character but in the scene it helps the character to blend in with the dark background to be unnoticed. This kind of shot can also portray that the character has a dark side and now lives in the shadows.
- 16. Proximity or Nearness Subjects closer to the camera have greater importance. Move the subjects in the picture around and you change their importance.
- 17. Proximity
- 18. Proximity Proximity is used in a shot to show the importance of a character when compared to another. In this scene the character in the foreground is closer to the screen showing that he has more importance. This also uses being closer to the screen to help give emphasis on the characters expression as well as directing the audiences attention to him. The character in the background is given less importance as there is less of him revealed in the shot and he is in the middle ground to further from the screen. This suggest what the character in the foreground is saying holds more importance and is what the audience needs to listen to and remember.
- 19. Soft Focus Fuzzy frames are usually associated with romantic moods. Shallow focus, which either the foreground, middleground or background of the image is given focus allows the film maker to direct the audiences attention. Deep focus, which keeps everything in the image in focus allows the viewer to choose what to focus on and is often used to show realism (as seen in TV drama).
- 20. Fuzzy Frames
- 21. Fuzzy Frames This shot uses fuzzy frames to set the mood. Fuzzy frames help to get rid of any sharp edges to give a softer look. In this case it helps to give a romantic look to the character and a beautified look to her. In this case it helps to show the affection in the two characters
- 22. Deep focus
- 23. Deep focus In this shot a deep focus was used so that you can see all the characters in the fore-ground but so the audience can also see what is happening in the background. This is used to help show the setting. By seeing other characters in the background it shows a busy environment. In this case you can see other characters not being serious and this lead the audience to think that it is a very jolly and loud setting.
- 24. Shallow focus
- 25. Shallow focus Shallow focus allows only one area in the shot to be in detail and therefore the part of the shot that draws the most attention. Here the character in the foreground is given more detailing and focus so the audience is drawn to this character. Also the background is blurred so the audience doesnt have their attention to it and also makes it harder to spot detailing. This doesnt show anything about the characters in the background suggesting they dont have any importance and so the audience only focuses on the foreground and to what is happening with that character.
