Found Week 2 Behind A Hippo

We have now entered into a dangerous area and what seems to be: week 2!

Cinema! So much to say and so much that was learnt this week. We started off with various shots that can be used in movies. Example; long shot, medium shot, close up - all different shots that can help for various effects. Which could be for example a close up to display the characters emotions (such as crying after a break-up). Another thing that shots can do is show time, place, who is featured in the movie and whats going on. The one thing which I got out of this lecture, which is very useful is; a character must never be in the middle of the shot or with too much space on each side, rather they must use the rule of thirds! Last, but not least, when shooting a conversation between two characters, one must apply the 180' rule! This meaning always having both characters in the shot.
