Preliminary Exercise: Introduction to storyboarding camera composition

 

        In this lesson the goal was to be able to understand and analyze the main concepts of camera composition. In this assignment me and my team further developed a better understanding on what camera composition can do for a film and how it further develops the film. Camera composition is the arrangement of visual information within a cameras frame. Camera composition helps viewers in seeing a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional screen. Directors use camera composition to show a further understanding on the film.  During this assignment we were told to plan and create a storyboard using the knowledge that we already know. 

        In this assignment we learned to understand media languages from different viewpoints. We also further got a better understanding on how camera composition helps the viewer of the film see the film in a different perspective and get a better understanding on it.  At the end of the assignment my team was able to properly explain and identify the following camera composition shots which are: The Rule of Thirds Shot #1, Symmetry Shot #2, Asymmetry Shot #3, Point Shot #4, Leading lines Shot #5, Shapes Shot #6, Deep Focus Shot #7, Shallow Focus (Foreground In Focus and background Out-of-Focus Shot) or Shallow Focus (Background In Focus and foreground Out-of-Focus Shot) #8. On this assignment 3 students worked on creating it. Summa. W, Aleymar. N, and me (Alivia. C).

Furthermore, in Exercise 1 we learned about someone named Roland Barthes. Roland Barthes was a French literacy theorist, and his theory stated that there are more than one way to read a code and that a text has multiple meanings. Barthes analyzed the process and studied the relationship between denotation and connotation. Also, according to his theory anything in culture can be a sign and send a specific message. An example of his theory would be, when people look at red roses, they think that it signifies romance and love. This came from a Roman and Greek mythology and the red rose closely ti...
