For camera angles:
Dicussion made in the group:
Before we went to fort siloso, we had decided on the camera angles and positions we will use for taking our shots. In addition, we felt that every shot makes a difference in the result.
Example for this picture:
Camera angles used:
For pictures on canons:We used middle angle.
Angle and position: Low position and low angles.
Reason: To show the power of the canon and to be able to capture the canon in between an eye level angle.
2nd image taken:
Angle and position:
For capturing the view of sentosa.
To give a horizontalangle.
Shooting : From a high angle( eye level)and high position( faraway)
Reasons: To let the audience feel comfortable.
From a high angle: to create different eye level tone.
This is used for our introduction in the doccumentary. In addition, it will help to give our audience a clear image and information on our purpose of shoot and the venue of shooting.
Lastly, The place is quite shady and thus, it will also help us to control our light intensity used and exposure of light.
Images used in ending for doccumentary:
We used it as a horizontal long angle to end the video.
