Camera Composition in Film Preliminary Exercise Group Assignment

 Camera Composition in Film Group Assignment 

This post will be about the second part of the camera composition in film assignment where we discuss the different techniques we analyzed individually. First of all, my teammates for this assignment were Jonathan Spence, Malachi Scott, and Brian Mareus.  Jonathan worked on Balance: Asymmetry and Blocking: Leading Lines, Brian worked on Blocking: Shapes and Deep Depth of Field, while Malachi worked on Deep Depth of Field and Shallow Depth of Feld. 

Jonthan's analyzation gave me insight into how asymmetrical balance is used in films to make a scene look out of balance, but still visually appealing to an audience eyes; Additionally, I learned that leading lines in films are used to control what and how the audience sees a subject. 

Brian analyzation gave me insight into how blocking: shapes are crucial in films as the position of actors on set can affect their performance, and that deep depths of field are used in shots to highlight important events going on.

Malachi analyzation gave me insight into how shallow focus is used in films to emphasize one part of the image over another, where one plane of a shot is in focus while the rest is out of focus.
