Story Board

After looking at and understanding different camera angles and their purpose, we were asked to create a short video clip consisting of a range of different camera shots. The aim of the task was to create a scene where one character gives a piece of shocking news to another character, but the scene could only be done by taking pictures of different camera angles to portray the news.

Firstly, we made a story board to state our initial ideas, outlining the plot of how the shocking news would be shown, we also made an original list of camera angles that we thought would be effective in presenting the shocking news in a dramatic way.

The camera angles we used and thought about using while doing the story board were:

• An establishing shot
• A medium shot
• A reverse shot
• An extreme close up
• A high angle shot
• A birds eye view
• A low angle shot
• An eye level
• A long shot

The story board gave us an idea of what camera angles we were going to use and what movements of each character we were going to use, this made it easier for us to take the pictures as we already had an idea what we wanted to create and what it should look like.

Here is our story board:
