Today I took shots that utilised 9 different camera angles to help me get some ideas of angles I want to include in my film opening. Here are the results!
Over Head:
This shot uses an angle from above to show my dog looking outside the glass door. While taking this, I stood up on a chair and placed the camera as directly above her as I could, and I was very happy that she didn't run out of the frame.
This shot shows my dog as an intimidating subject since the camera is below her line of sight, and viewers must look up at her. To take this, I lowered my camera and was lucky enough to capture her in one of her sassy moods.
This shot is placed in the line of sight of the subject as viewers see my dog in her natural state and are not posing any judgment. This shot was probably the easiest of all the shots I took because I didn't have to tilt my camera any certain way, and simply had to capture my dog sitting on the couch, which didn't require any movement.
This shot is an over-the-shoulder that allows viewers to see my grandma's process of getting dinner ready as she moves around in a corner of the kitchen. This shot was simply to take because I didn't have to disrupt her and just got to place my camera behind her at shoulder level as she carried on preparing dinner.
This shot places the camera looking down at my dog, which conveys a sense of vulnerability and fear within her. When taking this, I noticed her eyes definitely conveyed this meaning, and it was quite easy to take.
This shot shows my dog rummaging through the kitchen. It was probably the most fun to take because I got to slide around the floor and follow her.
This shot shows my grandma giving treats to my dog, and because it is placed at my grandma's waist level, it emphasizes what she is holding, which is the bucket of treats. I struggled to come up with an idea of what to shoot for this level since I associated Western gun shots with it. However, I came up with the idea to incorporate my Grandma, dogs, and treats, and got this as the end result. Because of the planning this took and how long it took me to think of, this shot was the most difficult to take.
Knee Level
This shot is at my Grandma's knee level and focuses on my dog following her. It was pretty fun to take because I thought it was silly how my dog followed my Grandma around the kitchen as she was making dinner.
Dutch Angle
This shot shows my dog sitting outside the glass door. It creates a sense of unease is suspense is built because of the title angle, but also because of the first few seconds where my dog's reflection is shown in the mirror. This shot was very interesting to me and I thought I captured a good moment to utilize the tilt.
