Shot Types & Filming Techniques Summary - Becca

Long shot We used a long shot within the quiz frame to show the large subject of the quiz ( both tables of teams and the question master) this also showed all the surroundings of the rooms.
Medium Long Shot
We also used a Medium Long shot in this case as the standing actor (me the quiz master( cuts off feet and ankles from the picture we can see, to keep up with the social circumstance displayed. We used medium shots for the opening scenes so the actor eventually after walking to their seat was placed in the middle of the screen.
Close Ups
Close ups in such as the character's face (gee's in the competition) to really hilight her expression and reaction.We used a point of view shot made from a camera position to show the person's point of view over sam's F- paper, to show how she feels about recieving a low grade.
Zoom
 Zoom, is also used to really make the F- a significant part in the film so attention is concentrated on the details. We have used straight cuts for our trailer to show a sudden change from one part of the story to another, we did this to show change in scene, to compress time, varying of building up an image.
Voice over
Commentary ( voice over) for our trailer was used to introduce characters, and to introduce different parts of the narrative and to give some extra information for audience that wasn't given in images and moving image. We have synced it with our music to create a rhythm.
Music
The music used helps to accompany the pace of scenes, it is to compliment cuts and shows the mood of the scene. It was also used to build up certain parts of our scene.
Lighting
Soft and harsh lighting was used also to set the mood again for the frame, to show specific objects and people's expression.A light humour moment such as the makeover scene has a lot of strong lighting to convey the comedy and that its a bright and happy scene. Darker shots such as the F- paper is to show the mood that Sam is feeling and generally depicts a sad scene.
