Camerawork: Photo storyboard

Your photo storyboard needs to include the following ten shots and angles:

Camera shots recap:

• Wide shot / establishing shot (WS/ES)
• Long shot (LS)
• Medium shot (MS)
• Medium close up (MCU)
• Over-the-shoulder shot (OTS)
• Close up (CU)
• Big close up / Extreme close up (BCU/XCU)

Camera angle:

• High angle: makes subject look small and weak.
• Low angle: makes subject look big and powerful.
• Unusual perspective: can be used to surprise the audience or show danger (e.g. looking down off a cliff)

To get an example of what your photo storyboard should look like, have a look at this example from last year or this one - both very good.

Remember - you need to include all ten shots/angles and write an analysis to go with each shot to explain what it communicates to the audience.

Finish this for homework if you don't complete it in the lesson - due for your double lesson next week.

Good luck!
