In today’s lesson we learnt about different shots and the significance of the different shots and what they mean, the different shots being the long shot, extreme long shot, close up, extreme close up and midshot.

We also looked at how the different shots signify different things to the audience; for example close ups make the audience feel as though the person or object is particularly important or has some significance within the story of film.

As a pair me and Hope conducted a tally chart on NME magazine and tallied the different shots that were present to see if there was any pattern in the different shots. It seemed that the mid shot and long shots seemed the most popular. Extreme close up and extreme long shot were not present in the magazine so these are clearly not popular.
