Camera Shots Quiz

    In class, our class was assigned to do a camera shots quiz and we had to work with a partner. Our assignment was to utilize a variety of 15 shots and angles in order to tell a story with our choice of inanimate objects and organization. We were told to make ten shots that were assigned to us and we got to pick the separate five from our lesson.

    When approaching this assignment, we decided to make this assignment convey a very comedic story. We had the idea of getting two toys and making them the main character's of the fight, a panda and a dog that is in the territory of the panda. The 15 shots we used showed the progression of how the fight started, continued, and ended. The panda was the antagonist of this short story while the dog was the victim of abuse. The panda would be very arrogant and confident that he will win the fight; however, the dog is very intimidated but strong and he ends up beating the panda in the fight. We wanted to show the message that causing a fight just because someone else is invading personal space, it shouldn't be the reason to cause violence. The last shot explains that although winning the argument, engaging in violence makes both parties the losers. 

    I think I did good in portraying the characters' emotions, reactions, and movements through facial expressions and body language. A few things I'd improve on our presentation would be how the low angle was made because i felt like it didn't convey how the dog felt in power over the dog. Another thing I would improve is how to do a Point of View shot since the shot would only show the top of the head and not the actual panda's perspective of the dog sleeping.
