Today, we watched 3 clips of the latest Harry Potter film, 'the Order of Phoenix' and a short film called 'Misdirection', by a university media studies student.
The 3 Harry Potter clips showed a film can become sucessful, with simple shots used effectively. High angled shots, low angled shots, birds eye view, and tracking shots were used in a big success, but in a manor that kept the audience drawn into the film. This could help us as we can take the oportunity to use this shots, and adapt them to suit our film.
The short film, 'Misdirection', which used various shots to create a sense of tension and excitment. The shots that were used varied from simple, and difficult, but were edited together very well to create great effect. After studying the short film, we can now use some of the shots and editing techniques to influence our film.
