O.S shot means “Over the shoulder shot” and usually using in the shot shows the subject from behind the shoulder from another person/object. Why don’t use O.S shot in bottom shot? It is because this shot is from son’s perspective and mother is not pay attention.

Fig 3.12 Example of Focusing area, Week3 (10/5/2024)
Foreground is positioned between camera and main subject. In this picture, the tree between camera and people riding bike is foreground. Mid ground is the space between foreground and background. In this picture, the dog between foreground tree and people is mid ground. Back ground supports primary subject and add information in screen. In this picture, the tree behind the people is back ground.
Fig 3.13 Compare Deep depth and Shallow depth of field, Week3 (10/5/2024)
Depth of field is the acceptable sharpness of distance between the nearest and most far subject which the lens focused. Deep depth of field is both foreground and background are sharp and clear. Shallow depth of field is focusing only the main object and everything else is out of focus.
180 Degree rule is two or more characters in a scene should always have same left/right relationship with each other. In cinematography, continuity is the sequence of shots all need to feel as unified and fluid as if they were a single shot.
In this video below, it adhere to the 180 degree rule.
Dynamic Screen Direction is using in a situation that contrasting the screen travel and show subjects coming and going.

Fig 3.14 Photo shooting exercise, Week3 (12/5/2024)
From this photo shooting & editing exercise, I’ve learned how to add caption in screen and how to adjust their appear timing. The 8 type of photoshoot is little bit difficult because I couldn’t find the difference between MCU (Middle Close-Up) shot, Middle shot and Close-up shot. However take photo in pair work, I can notice the difference. It is good practice for photoshoot, adjust light sources, and edit them into one video.
Week3 asynchronous class materials are for understand how storyboard working in the pre-production process. It helps a lot of works such as camera angles, character movements, and so on. Storyboards are also helpful for us to make video work with saving time and resources.

REFLECTIONS
In these exercises, I could learn the basic knowledge of editing. And also it was the first time for me to learn photo shooting technique. I really confused the difference of close-up shot and medium close-up shot and it took several time to understand. However, after doing team work to master the camera shooting, I could understand the idea a little bit from beginning.
