Essay  The scene we used for the film elements analysis, was the opening scene from the 1st episode of  Agent Carter. In this 5 minute scene we could found many film elements such as: camera shots, editing, sound and Mise-en-scene, that contributed to the flowing of the story as a whole.   Starting of Camera Angles, we can appreciate a Head On Shot on the very first scene were Steve is landing the plane on ice, were it shows the camera positioned in a low angle while the plane goes directly to the camera and then cuts to the next shot this gives the audience a more realistic look. We can also find many close ups , one of them would be when Steve Knows he’s about to die and he looks Peggie’s picture, this close ups let’s the audience have a better look of the picture and the meaning of it. Another interesting camera shot that I found was some time of deep focus or “depth of field”, where we can see the guy sitting in his chair listening to music while there’s a...

5 Master Editing Techniques 

Imani's Blog Dolly Shot: Consisted in a girl walking in a school hallway, in between some pillars that makes the visuals look pretty interesting. I commented on how much I liked the location for this shot, making it very appealing. Extreme Close-up: Consisted in a little bug in a tree. I commented on the creativity and the cuteness on the shot, it was also very steady. Full Shot: Consisted on a guy smelling a flower from a tree, after he smelled it his face expression made this shot really funny. I commented on the comedy and the steadiness of the shot, genuine. Head-on Shot: I loved this one. Consisted in a guy walking into the camera, which sounds pretty simple, but what made it authentic was the lack of shakiness on the shot and the fact that when he walked into the camera, the shot became completely black giving the opportunity for a transition to a following shot. Very, very appealing. Adrian's Blog High Angle Shot: Consisted in two girls doing a handshake...

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse (2018)  I chose to comment on this movie because the visuals and the CGI are beautiful. I also think there is plenty of camera angles examples that, although is an animated movie, they express plenty of emotions that make this movie very interesting and visually appealing. Here are some good examples I found of some camera angles:  Close-up Shot This is one of my favorite scenes. Miles Morales has been told that he doesn't fit with the spider-men from other dimensions because he's not week, he's tighten up in a chair right now. His dad encourages him to not give up and he develops this new type of "lighten"super power that makes him stronger and now he's able to escape from the chair and go back to the adventure, giving the viewer hope, a sense of closeness to Miles, curiosity about what's Miles next action.  Locked -down Shot This is a very funny scene. His dad wants him to say "I love you dad"...

Cameo Shot This was a very easy shot to film, I was going for a very chill and atmospheric tone, just a girl laying in a plain wall looking away reflecting tranquilness.  Close Shot Another easy shot to film. Just a shot of a conversation not showing the other person talking. Casual tone. Close Up This shot was a little bit more difficult to film, I had to find a position where the camera stood still and focus on the paper. I wanted it to be a type of suspense shot where the person is in a hurry and an important paper fell.  Establishing Shot This shot was difficult because it was hart to keep the camera still without a tripod. I wanted to focus in a happy and positive tone, the nature in this location contributes a lot with this shot due to the vibrant color of the grass and trees. Extreme Close-Up This shot was a little difficult due to the position of the camera. I wanted the person to be in a hurry so it would create the illusion of wor...

Why am I taking this class? I would like to start by mentioning that I'm a fan of any cinematographic piece, I like everything that involves TV producing, from scripting, directing, filming, performing, to editing. I would say it's my passion, as a CTV member I've got to know my behavior and feelings towards the TV and filming industries. I've gotten to fall in love and get addicted to the process, I've decided that it's what I wanna do when I grow up and I want to become successful as a TV producer. Although I'm involved in plenty other activities such as: being officer of Latinos In Action, Theater, my job (at Jimmy John's , #notsponsored) AP and Honors classes, (I was in band last year but we don't talk about that...) The broadcasting and filming path would always be my #1 hobbies. And that is why I'm in this class, to inform myself more and more about film, to improve my abilities so one day I could finally reach my dreams, I could finally...
