Preliminary Exercise: Introduction to storyboarding shot sizes

           In this lesson the goal was to be able to understand and be able to analyze the main concepts of Shot sizes. In this lesson we further developed more knowledge about how media language is used and how the audience can respond/interpret it. A Shot size is the amount of the scene or subject that is visible in a frame of a video, still image, or animation. This helps communicate different narratives in the film. Director's use shot sizes to show the audience exactly what they want the audience to see. During this assignment we were told to create a storyboard and apply the techniques that we had previously learned. Furthermore, we created an action line describing the shot sizes for each shot that we illustrated. 

        In this assignment we learned to understand media languages from different viewpoints. We also further got a better understanding on how shot sizes are used to show deeper explanations on the expressions that are being expressed in the film. At the end of the assignment my team was able to properly explain and identify the following shot sizes which are: Wide shot, Full shot, Wide/long shot, Master shot, Medium shot, Medium full shot, Extreme medium shot/ establishing shot, Close-up, Medium close-up, Extreme Close-up. On this assignment 3 students worked on creating it.
