Carson's Aice Media Blog

I chose to comment on a series called 'The Office' that can be found on Netflix. I have watched this series a few times and thought it would be interesting to go back and dissect the different camera angles used throughout. I have looked through the first few episodes and found almost every camera angle we have studied so far this year. I chose a few to talk about below. This is an eye level shot. It shows one of the main characters, Michael Scott, talking to Jim Halpert about the sales call that he just made. He did not make the sale, which explains the face he is making. It is an eye level shot because it is shot at his eye level. This helps the audience's ability to better see and understand his reaction to the call. This shot is also a reverse angle shot because he is having a conversation with another character, Jim, who is off screen.   This is an over the shoulder shot. You can see Michael talking to Pam about if he has any calls. He also talks about wha...

First I commented on Shea's blog post. I discussed his establishing shot, point of view shot, reaction shot, and head-on shot. I thought his establishing shot set an eerie vibe on the film. His reaction shot had a comedy factor to it that i enjoyed. His head-on shot would have an audience jumping because the action seemed like it was going to come out of the screen. The other blog is commented on was Sarah's. I chose her point of view shot, reaction shot, establishing shot, and extreme long shot. I thought the point of view shot would really give the audience an idea of what the character was seeing. The reaction shot would have the audience wondering what the character was reaction too. The establishing would set an upbeat and happy mood for a film.

This is an extreme long shot. It is a wide angle from a long distance. It is also an establishing shot because it is a long shots that shows the location of the film itself. This is a head on shot because the action in the scene comes right at the camera. This is a close shot because it shows the subject from the top of the head to the mid waist. This is a point of view shot. It shows the characters point of view of the scene being shot. This is an over the shoulder shot. It shows us the characters point of view while also showing us part of the characters head. This is a full shot because it is a long shot that captures the character's entire body head to toe. This is a choker shot because it is a tight close up and only shows the characters face. It is also an eye level shot because it was shot at the characters eye level. This is a high angle shot because it is filmed high above the character.   This is an e...

I am taking AICE Media Studies for many reasons. I saw it as an opportunity to improve my weighted GPA. I previously took TV Productions 1 and loved all the different projects we did throughout the course of the school year. I am looking forward to learning more about film and technology.
