Research: Camerawork Shot Sizes

Shot size refers to how much of the location or object is seen in a certain frame. Camera shots are an essential component of both cinema and video productions because they give filmmakers the opportunity to highlight specific emotions, ideas, and actions in each scene by combining various shot types, camera movements, and perspectives. The scenario will be significantly impacted by how the issue is presented. How the audience should feel about your shot depends on the size of your shot and how near or distant your subject is from your camera.

We used research to help us complete out film. Being informed about the different shot sizes was beneficial for creating our storyline. We found it easier to plan a plot for our story before we began taking pictures for the shots. Once we understood how the shot was supposed to look, it wasn't difficult to execute our ideas and continue the storyline with each shot size.
