Classmates commentary

In today's post, I am discussing which of my classmates' blogs I commented on. The first was Elizabeth's blog and her camera shots/angles. Her Dutch shot was comedic and showed the character looking lost and confused. It gives a comedic tone since the character is depicting a lost “nerdy” type of character. The next shot was the two-shot. It made the audience feel curious as we didn't know what they were reading. We only see their reactions. The last shot is the establishing shot. It showed a panning movement across the library. This shot helped me understand where they were filming. It also displayed the setting and environment where the other clips were made.

The second blog I commented on was Nestors. Nestor had good dutch angles, mid shot, and the master shot. His Dutch angle made the audience feel like something serious was happening. She swings the door open and walks through like she's looking for something. This shot also helps create a mysterious tone as we don’t know what she is looking for. The mid shot was funny and had a light-hearted tone. In the clip, the character is doing a dance and pointing at potential college choices. It isn’t as serious and shows what her options might be. Nestors last shot was the master shot. In this shot it establishes who is in charge. Nestor is telling the other cadets to do their pushups. The audience gains a sense of authority as it shows who gives the orders.
