2nd session of movie making worshop, 9 JUNE 2009

Today,
we learn about the different shots in a movie/clip and it does have an effect and makes our audience more interested in the character on how they view the character.

1. extreme close up(ECU)-it focus on only the whole face in e photo, no room space
2. close up(CU)-the photo you can see your neck
3. medium close up(MCU)-is from the head to above the chest for the character's reaction, a bit of room space
4. medium shot(MS)-from the head to the waist to show hand actions
5. medium long shot(MLS)-from the head to the knee also, known as cowboy shot because it was common used to shoot these kind of shot in cowboy movie.
6. long shot(LS)-full body shot, a bit more head room

1st lesson at the old school,sinema

i learnt about the different genre like click flick,horror and many more...

i also learnt that you cannot classify every thing under horror once you think it is scary as at times this "scary" term can be placed under violence and other genre. through the lesson we watch many different clips my favorite was "The days", i thought it was really interesting and that it is based on a true story that made me so interested in it.  in the 1st lesson i understood why people make movies it may be for a message to someone in particular or to create awareness ect...

i also learnt that there are different parts in the movie and where the climax usually happen. And what things make a movie interesting and that when a movie is interesting, the audience tends to get lost in their time.
