6 shot sequence


The six shots in the six shot sequence: The first one is the Extra close up or XCU, This shot includes a close up of the face. The face shown should be showing an expression or change in expression due to a reaction. The second is the over the shoulder or OTS this is another "uncomfortable" shot were the camera should be directly over the shoulder so the viewer can see what the subject is doing. Number three is the close up or CU usually a close up of the hands, It focuses on what the person is doing. the fourth shot is the medium shot or MS this is from the waist or hips up this begins to set the scene but still doesn't give too much away. The fifth shot is the Wide shot or WS this shot shows the entire person but doesn't give away the whole scene. The final shot is the XWS this shot shows the entire scene and the whole person and answers most unknown things about the scene.

I learned how to work with the cameras to get the desired look. I learned how big a deal it is to plan and draw out exactly what you will be shooting. I learned that the audience looses attention after 4 seconds and with that I learned how to portray what I want to.

I will apply every thing that i just wrote to my next project and probably even more.
