Photo Activity

In this lesson we was using cameras to experiment with different types of shots and camera angles in preparation for our film title sequence. The following shot is titled “Claustrophobic”, In this shot we wanted to focus on a group of people crammed into an lift and focus on one person feeling uncomfortable and claustrophobic. This shot works well because people will automatically look at the boy in the middle because he has eye contact with the camera whereas everyone else is looking normal. The camera focuses on the boy’s facial expression and the mise en scene of the crowd around him indicates to people that he feels crammed in the lift. The background is also very effective because the camera could only get what was inside the lift making the picture appear much smaller
