I chose to do my examples from the show that I am still watching. At this point, the storyline relates to Arthur of Camelot and Merlin the wizard. Most of these clips focus on Merlin, the magical wizard.  Parallelism: for this type of edit I chose to compare the sun and a mirage that the characters were seeing. When watching, I noticed how the scene started off with a view of the sun, and then went down to the characters. I continued watching and noticed the twinkling light of the mirage, which reminded me of the bright sun at the beginning of the episode. These two scenes were connected through a matching element, being the bright light. Contrast: the shots I chose to compare showed the difference between the barren, arid wasteland and the beautiful, lush countryside. When watching I noticed a big change in scenery, which I thought was a good representation of contrast. It starts off with the two men, running down the sandy hill to what they think is a mirage. Howev...

These are two very different extremes that I thought would be a good example of contrast. One example where my adrenaline is at its highest and one where I'm peaceful and relaxing. These two scenarios are very different and are a good representation of contrast. Parallelism: For this edit, I chose to show two scenes that had much in common, but that were overall different. The first clip is of the cheer team at practice, practicing a new dance for the next pep-rally. The second video is of us at a pep-rally performing a dance. This goes to show that there is more beyond what everyone sees. At practice we put in hard work and dedicate ourselves to learning new material to perform at such pep-rallies. Symbolism: For these two videos I chose to chose water as my symbol. Water is a vital part of everyone's lives and can be seen in many different places and forms....

Kelsey Cashin Period 1 Review of camera angles used in ABC's TV show Once Upon a Time I chose to do this project on a show I have recently been watching called Once Upon a Time. It follows the lives of fairy tale characters as if they were living in our modern world. While the show involves alternating flashbacks from the enchanted world and the modern world, there are many different camera angles that are used. The show often conveys much drama, suspense and mystery, which is done through dramatic or creepy music, and a variety of camera angles. Special effects are frequently used as well to show "magic" which also helps keep the viewer on their toes. As I started watching, the first thing I noticed was an arc shot. This involved the camera circling around the subjects, in this case the Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Charming, Captain Hook, and Snow and Charming's daughter, Emma. The scene takes place in the modern world, however there is still magi...

Saoirse's Blog 1. Close up- makes the scene feel mysterious because of the way the subject is walking, and only showing from the waist up 2. Follow shot- this conveys a rowdy mood, making the scene feel positive  3. High angle shot- this makes the subject appear small and insignificant, the emotion of the movie isn't really involved yet 4. Extreme close up- this only shows one part of the subjects body creating a frantic and mysterious mood Sarah's Blog  1. Eye level shot- makes you feel close to the subject as if you're in front of them, it makes the scene feel personal, there usually isn't any drama involved 2. Point of view shot- also makes you feel closer, except to the camera person this time, it shows what they're seeing, as if you're there 3. Follow shot- this one was funny and the mood changes. it goes from being calm, just following 2 people walking until the subjects start being crazy 4. Low angle shot- this makes the viewer feel smaller tha...
