5 Master Edits

 For the first shot (contrast), I recorded Emmanuel acting normal and then acting crazy, this shot shows two different sides of one person. For parallelism, I recorded myself walking down a stair cases and walking, we also filmed Emmanuel doing the same on a different staircase, to show how we will be connected at some point. For symbolism I recorded a tree and Emmanuel writing on paper, the shot cuts back and fourth between the two. This shows the symbolism of trees that humans turn into paper and use. For simultaneity, Emmanuel recorded himself in a first person view “stealing” a phone, and another part as a security camera filming him doing that act, looking like it is shown at the same time in two different views. For Leit Motif, I filmed a shot where the scene would cut from my watch to a clock, showing how time was running out.

 Enmanuel Cannabal 

 For Enmanuel's shots, I went over the tilt shot, head on shot, and high angle shot, these are my comments on each:

I enjoyed the way you used the tilt shot on the trojan, the tilt shot almost gave it an intimidation factor as if the trojan was larger than life. The head on shot was good because you could feel like something was flying at you, however I could have thrown the shoe better. I liked the high angle shot the most because of the way it was panning up so we could see the whole of the surroundings. 

Jason Jones

For Jason's shots, I reviewed the choker shot, POV shot, as well as the reaction shot, these are my comments on each:

 The choker shot that you did was interesting, the shot shows him deeply staring in the camera as if he was concentrating. The POV shot was good, because it portrays exactly what you are doing and how you see the world. Lastly, the reaction shot was my favorite, it showed the surprise in the dudes face as you barged in to the stall. 

Top Gun Movie Review

                                        Review of five Camera angles in the Movie

                                                              Top Gun (1986)  

                                         Producer: Don Simpson Jerry Bruckheimer         

         There are several different reason why I chose to use Top Gun to analyze five camera angles. One simple reason is the fact of how much action is in this movie, aside from the action there are also scenes of suspense and drama. Bringing in these factors of difference in tone and emotion in various scenes, gives a great selection of camera angles to chose from. 

          As the movie opens through credits and scenes of airplanes take off, we get an Establishing shot of an aircraft career with an F-14 Tomcat is landing. According to "Use of Long Shots in Film" Establishing shots are used to show the audience the setting of the upcoming scene. In the beginning of Top Gun, as said before we open on an aircraft Carrier in the Indian Ocean, this shows the exact surroundings giving the audience an Idea of where the scene is taking place. 

 

    

                     In this next scene we are presented with a choker scene. In this scene we see the Pilot, call-sign Cougar, freaking out, after he was missile locked and almost killed by a Soviet pilot in an MIG 28. This scene is a close up of Cougars face showing the deep emotion of the character after the dramatic experience. 

             

                      This scene is called a Head on shot, the context of this shot shows two fighter jets flying towards the camera. The head on shot shows the tension as these two pilot dog fight towards the camera. 

            

              In this scene we see the main character, Maverick talk to his instructor, Viper about Mavericks father. In this scene the directors chose to use medium shot in order to see the characters mood in the shot. You can see how they are conversating and their body language and how they feel. 

                

         

                 In this shot, this is when Cougar is in the after math of the dogfight. The director decides to do a super close up shot of Cougars eyes. As we look at it, we can tell that he is sweating a large amount, we can also see the gaze he has like he is not mentally present in the situation. These super close up shots show the extreme feelings of the character almost like we can assume.

Close shot: In this shot I filmed Enmanuel from the waist up for 5 seconds accomplishing the close up shot. This shot was in my opinion very easy and simple, I had no problem doing this shot. 

In this shot I used a super close up shot to video Enmanuel's eye. Like the close shot, the super close up shot was very easy and quickly accomplished. 

This shot is the close up, to complete this shot I simply had to get close up to a leaf. This shot again like the others were very easy and simple to complete, I had no iss

In this shot I accomplished the doly shot, this one was not difficult like the others but required a little bit more work in order to accomplish it.

This shot was a low angle shot in which I videoed the Trojan statue from the ground. This was not at all difficult and came out pretty well.

This shot was a tilt shot, were I filmed the feet of the Trojan statue and slowly and smoothly filmed all the way up to the head of the trojan. This shot was the most difficult so far, however still very easy. 

This shot was the full shot, I went further back in order to capture Enmanuel's full body head to toe. This shot was very easy, I had no difficulty completing it. 

This shot was the follow shot, in order to complete this shot, I had Enmanuel walk along the seats and I followed his walking, this was yet again another easy shot

\

This shot was the high angle shot, completing this was very simple but took a little longer in order to accomplish it, I had Enmanuel walk around as I filmed up above him. 

This shot was the Establishing shot in which toy could see the full amount of the school, one of the easiest of all the shots this was very simple and easy to complete. 

Why I Took This Class

 Honestly, I am taking this class for the college credit. However after learning what we do in this class, I hope to learn what it takes to make a film and how to successfully create a film.
