Experimentation -Art Shots

We felt that it was really important to set up an opportunity where we could film our character doing her art work, and see how our shots were going to work out and what angles worked well. These are the ones we felt were particularly good. We decided to use pretty close shots as we felt this was what represented art well, as it is a very detailed and intense talent to have/ to paint:

Medium/Close-Up (Medium-High shot)

These two shots we feel really accentuates the character's talent for artwork. Because the shot is over her shoulder we fell as though this is an onlooker and therefore as an audience they can clearly see how good she is.




We know this is our protagonist as we can see her hair which defines our character well as it is quite blonde. With the focus pulled towards the background (artwork) this naturally draws the audience's attention to the part which is in focus, which is the artwork.

Close-Up (Level shot)

These next shots would have a slight more wider view, which will enable these shots to have a great narrative. The shot of her brush coming close to the camera represents how this is a personal subject/talent she has and with the brush also being in focus, again it is playing around with what the audience's attention is drawn to.







Medium (Level shot)

The idea of the camera resting on a table is also very simple and effective and means that there is an even plane and the detail that takes place on that art table. This gives a great perspective, almost like you are peeking over a table into her secret.





This shot of her body in the background means again we can focus on the paints on the table and show the detail of these shots and will compare to the intimacy and intensity that the character feels when she is painting, because she is so passionate about it.






This is the same with the washing of brushes shot, the camera is pulled towards the detail on the cup and therefore is showing that this is an important thing to the character and that art is a significant part of the storyline for her.



Extreme Close-Up (Medium shot)

                    This last show we feel gives great detail and because of the extreme close up, we are able to see the immense detail that this character has to work with, within her talent. This also gives us an opportunity to show her grubby messy hands, to show that she has worked hard on this, and maybe a nail varnish colour to depict her character and represent her.
