COMPOSITION

The first picture we took was an extreme close up of mushrooms next to a tree, the picture showed an illusion to the eye as it wasn't clear what the picture was of with a disctinct texture shown.

We then took an above shot of the mushrooms, this gave a completely different view of the image as it gave the mushrooms a different shape and didn't give them as much texture or shape from the birds eye view. This let us realise that there are ways to experiment with shits before shooting from the obvious angle.

The next picture we took shows a pattern of lines with the trees along with Chloes body, this leads the eye into the main focus of the image. We also used the technique of not having the main attraction in the centre which can be boring.

With then decided to show the before image as a medium shot by capturing less of the background, this gave a closer focus on the main attraction which we again decided to have the main attraction off centre.

Below is an extreme long shot which would be excellent for setting a scene as it shows the season with the falling leaves and set in trees. The shot also shows the importance of colours as the background are all neutral colours then Chloe sticks out without being in the centre or following the rules of lines but being dressed in black.

The picture below is a close up of an eye-level shot allowing all focus on Laura. The image is again not central as we feel in our film that the shots will be off centre leading the eye wanting more.

We then layed the camera in line with Laura again but at a long shot so it showed more of the setting and background. This was helpful for preparing our film as we can transform shot from a distant shot then to credits then the shot again but closer, confusing the eye.

The shot below is a long shot that we will use in our film to set the scene, it allows teh audience to know it is in a wood but also shows mystery as there is nothing central for the eye to be lead to.

We then did a point of view shot, giving the feel that someone was looking up at the sky seeing the trees branches. We felt this was useful as our film is set in woods. It also shows confusion with the branches intertwining which can represent a characters thoughts.

Once again we shot the tree but used the rule of lines, the trunk of the trees direction is heading up leading the eye to look in the same direction. It also shows the tree in a different angle which could show different characters views on a scene.
