10 Shots
Scene 1: Master shot- This shot establishes the setting and who is placed where. It was filmed in the main lobby, which was a difficult area to have crisp audio because of the constant people walking and talking. Although I was absent to film, I was run through of how the filming process went.
Scene 2: Over the shoulder- The scene is where Antonia is seen over the shoulder of Keith, talking about ordering an orange soda. The camera had to be leveled, positioned, and properly focused to get this shot. This shot in a way shows what Keith is looking at in his perspective.
Scene 3: Over the shoulder- This scene is where Keith is shown over the shoulder of Antonia, ordering the orange soda. This shows who talked to who.
Scene 4: Wide shot- Ethan, the waiter, comes up to ask us their orders. It provides another side/angle of the "restaurant"/main lobby. I'm assuming they took the camera off the tripod and positioned it on the table. This makes us more aware of the setting.
Scene 5: Close Up- This focused on Antonia's face while ordering the orange soda. This shows that Antonia is an important character. The close up on her face shows her normal, facial expression. There doesn't seem to be any conflicts, yet.
Scene 6: Close Up- Focused on Keith's face doing the same. Same effect.
Scene 7: Extreme Close Up- Even closer on Keith saying his order. This scene creates a more dramatic effect. An effect like it is something you have to focus on or you'll miss out on. This is when he orders his strawberry drink.
Scene 8: Canted/Dutch Angle- Antonia's reaction. This angle creates an uneasy and striking feeling. The camera turning lets us have an insight into Antonia's shocked and confused expression.
Scene 9: Medium Shot- This shot gives a more reality show type of vibe. Antonia's testimonial of her thoughts on the situation provides detail, where she might have excluded when she confronted Keith. This style of production is like a reality show and one of its qualities is drama, following with a testimonial.
Scene 10: Medium Shot- Keith's testimonial. Same effect.
Scene 11: High Angle- I actually filmed the last two shots; being only 4'10 it was difficult to keep them in the frame and from keeping the camera still. I had to pull up a chair on top of the chair, which was very dangerous. I think this shot gives the viewer a clearer angle. Antonia suddenly getting up shows where and why this is happening.
Scene 12: Low Angle- This shot concluded their friendship was over. Antonia walking away gave a dramatic end. One of our classmates Drew, had pointed out that the Low Angle shot of the legs walking away was like the segment that I worked on in class for "Behind the Id".
The scene 5 close up tells the audience where to look and makes sure the focus is on the desirable character(s). Scene 6 follows the same effect. Scene 9 breaks away from the multiple character dialogue and lets the audience find out what antonia's character is feeling/thinking
