Camera Shots and Angles


Low angle shot-
A low angle shot is a picture or a film sequence taken from below the subject.This shot gives the impression that the subject is strong and powerful. This can be used when antagonists are talking to people working for them. It can also be used on the protagonist and is often used when they are about to beat the villain.


High angle 
A high angles shot is a technique in which the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle. High angle shots are often used to make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied correctly.



Dutch angle-
The Dutch angle shot also known as a canted angle, a Dutch tilt or an oblique angle. This technique consists of an angled camera shot where the horizon line isn't parallel with the bottom of the frame, and vertical lines are at an angle to the side of the frame.


Overhead shot-
An overhead shot is an extreme high angle shot that is directly or almost directly above the subject. It allows the viewers in on the action but still maintain character detail.



Eye level shot-
An eye level shot is a shot where the camera is positioned directly at a characters' eye level. It's purpose is to give the viewer a familiar perspective and tends to be used during a serious conversation.


Shoulder level shot-
This is where the camera is placed at the subjects shoulders and is one of the most used angles for following a character. Shoulder level reduces the headroom and shows more of a characters body.



Hip level shot-
The hip level shot also known as a cowboy shot is created when the camera is placed at nearly waist height. This shot was often used in western films showing them holding their guns in the holster which is how it got the name cowboy shot.



Knee level shot-
The knee level shot is when the camera is placed at the subjects knees generally from behind getting their calves and feet into the shot. This is a shot that can show a characters superiority. It isn't as extreme as a ground level shot but gives off the same effect.

Pitch feedback

  I sent out a survey to the people I showed my pitch to so they could give me feedback and explain what I did well and anything I could improve on to make my final product the best it could be. Here I asked what they thought of the layout of my pitch and they both responded positively specifically pointing out the colour scheme. Next I asked if the way I presented my ideas was enjoyable and they both said yes. I asked what I could've doe to improve my pitch. They both said I should've shown more of the research I had done. The second person saying that I could've explained the USP in a different way although they did not elaborate on how I could do that. I asked what I did well and both participants seemed to think I explained my idea for the final product well and the second person though I explained my reasoning for them well too.  Lastly, I asked for any after thoughts and one participant responded saying I could've spoken more about colour choices.

Production diary

 18/01/22 Today we began filming our podcast. We went into the studio and set up the equipment which included logging into the apple mac in the studio and opening logic pro to record the audio on. In terms of microphones we used a RODE NR1A which is a microphone that a lot of people tend to use for podcasts. The guests and I had a conversation beforehand to make sure we knew what we were going to talk about and the order in which we were going to talk about each topic.

We did a few takes to make sure the microphones were set to the right level and weren't peaking and to make sure the audio was adequate.  The issues that occurred during the recording is that a musi...
