shots

This is an establishing shot, to show the location where we was working, this is a good shot except the man walking through the middle, this could be used however if the man was a part of what we was doing but he isnt. We then took another shot like this but without the man in it. This is the shot below.

This is the same shot as above just without the man walking through. I like this shot because it sets the scene, it has a good depth of field and the colours show autumn well. The shade and light also work well.

This next shot is a long shot of the person being interviewed. This shot looks clear and works well however phagun looks more like a presenter because she is stood in the middle of the shot and is looking straight into the camera where as an interviewee should be more to one side and looking from either left to right or right to left, this helps the audience realise it is an interview and feel more a part of the conversation.

This is a medium shot of the interviewee as we have now established who the interviewee is, i dont really like this shot because i think it should be abit higher up so the hands aren't in the shot. The hands can get a bit wavey and distract the viewer and they can also go in and out of the shot which can confuse the viewer. Again the interviewee should be to one side and looking side on to the camera.

This is a better medium shot of the interviewee. The hands are now out of the shot and the audience will find it easier to watch. The face is clearly in focus and the background looks interesting and not all one depth.

This is a close up shot of the interviewee, this could mainly be used to show emotion, as you can see she is very happy. I think the shot should be a little further zoomed out to give her abit more headroom. Also the flowers in the background look a little bright, i think i could change this by playing with the iris etc.

This was the first establising shot where the interviewee walked into shot, i think its a little bit zoomed out but it could work well.

All in all i think our shoot and practise with the camera went well and we got quite a few good shots if the interviewee was in the right position it would have been alot better. For this i have looked at a few interview technique video's from the BBC that phil shown me in a lesson.
