New Studio Binder Discovery: Varieties of Camera Angles

 I haven't been posting much, but that's because my Spring Break was busy. Despite the business, I decided to watch a Studio binder video to keep me up to date and maybe learn some new things, and upon searching I found some information on camera angles from this video:




Some camera angles that appeared in the video such as High angle and Low angle I already know of. But the other angles I don't know of are:

  • Eye Level- When your subject is at eye-level
  • Hip Level- when camera is roughly waist- high
  • Knee Level- when camera is about as low as your subject's knees
  • Ground Level- When camera's height is on ground level with your subject
  • Shoulder Level- camera angle that is as high as your subject's shoulders
  • Dutch Angle Shot (I've heard of it)- the camera is slanted to one side
  • Overhead Shot- from above, looking down on your subject
  • Aerial Shot- an angle captured from up high (e.g. Helicopter, Drone, etc.)
The Knee level may be an angle I will use in my film. But overall, this new obtained knowledge has made me rethink the angles I will use in my film. In my next blog I going to talk a little bit about the date I'll be filming and the camera angles that might appear in my film.

 So for the day of filming I made foreshadowing insinuations on Izel's passing: In scene one , an insinuation is made as Izel says "nothing can go wrong", hinting at the fact that something could go wrong. And she also says in Scene 1, "We're not going to die". Notice how Izel is the only one mentioning things about death and the "fact" that nothing can go wrong. In scene two , Izel makes another insinuation about escaping, as she says "Simple, If we get caught, we make a run for it and hide." Darien asked her the question: What do we do if we get caught?, and it shows that the way she answered she's not going to make it out of the school with Darien alive. These are just a few insinuations I made in the script that I wanted to discuss. In my next blog,

Script Issue Update

 Thankfully I got my script printed at STAPLES and I am really happy about it. The only problem I ran into is the fact that I didn't write the name of the film in the script, but I put a note at the top of the script the name and the actors that will be playing the characters. The flow is going well, and I will be filming soon either this Saturday or when we come back from spring break. Here is the printed script:
