ECU (Extreme Close Up) / Big Close Up

 - This shot shows off the facial expressions by the use of the ECU
 - The purpose of this shot is to convey emotions through the eyes and the actor/actress facial expressions effectively.
 - Out of all the shots we took this represents ECU the best.

 Bad Shot: ECU

 - The first shot is blurred showing an unclear image
 - The second shot doesn't use the idea of the "rule of third" and is uneven.

Wide Shot

 - These shots show of the landscape/background as well as the character

 - Unlike te ECU this shot shows off physical movement instead of expressions

 - Space in the shot has been left for movement

 - Creates the scene setting

 Bad Shot: Wide Shot

 - Doesn't uses the "rule of third" leaving to much head shape

 - The shot doesn't show the character clearly and cuts off the body.

 - Background lighting is bad 

Feet Shot: Interesting?

 - This is an interesting side shot of feet; getting ready to create the movement 

 - Can be used for product placement

 - Could have been more interesting if we had used a close-up

Rules of Third

 - Side shot - sets scene - centres the actor/actress - clearly shows what going on/where the attention of the shot is

Bad Shot: Rule of Third

- unclear/can't see the character/scene of the shot 

- No understanding of what is happening within the shot

- Bad lighting, which is creating bad shadowing in the scene

- Too much head space in the shot

Over Shoulder Shot

 - Shot shows conversation clearly

 - Clear view from over the shoulder 

 - Creates perspective to the audience

 - Clear lighting

Bad Shot: Over Shoulder Shot

 - Unclear view of conversation

 - Lots of head shape

 - The character not shown clearly in the shot/ cut out

Lighting

 - Shows strong detail due to the lighting from the windows reflection

Bad Shot: Lighting

 - Cut out of shot

 - Blurred to over exposed light
