Shot sizes and different cuts.


The lesson about about big amount of different types of shot sizes, their meaning and motivation. What kind of shot you need to use for evoking special feelings from people. How do you want people to see your character. Also we found out a lot about Cross cut, jumo cut and reaction cut, these are three cuts editors use to control perception of events. We watched a piece of old horror film «Don’t look now» and tried to mention all kinds of montage editors used to influence on our thoughts. 
Here are some examples:
.









Medium close-up- head and shoulders.Useful all-around shot.
Big close-up - used to show emotions and details. Reserved for
passion and conflict.










Point of view(POV) shot - perspective from a particular character's point of view. The director manipulates whose eyes the audience experiencxes the story from.
 Wide shot(establishing shot) - Shows us location, often used at the beginning and at the end of the scene.
                                                      





Over the shoulder(O/S) - Helps create a dynamic between the character and what they are seeing.
