Hello all! Today I would like to see your videos that you did yesterday. If you did not finish editing these clips, let me know and you can have more time. Send me the link to my gmail once you are done.

Part 1:

Today we will learning about SHOT types, and then beginning our first assignment.
You can follow along in the lesson by going http://video101course.com/ and clicking on SHOTS.

Answer the following questions in your blog:

1. In point form, describe each kind of shot and when you would use them:

• Close-up
• Long shot
• Medium Shot
• High Angle
• Low Angle

2. Define the following:

• lead room

3. Why are horizontal lines discouraged in shots? What should you use instead and why?

4. What rule have we already learned that emphasizes the same thing?

Part 2

With your clips from yesterday, try filming one additional clip with your partner that is a "B Roll". The clip could be anything you want that you think will change the narrative of your story. Perhaps the B Roll happens while they are coming down the stairs, or after they open the door. Try to re-edit your video to make a second one with this added B Roll and then send me the link for this one. 
Answer the following on your blog:

1. What did you add for the "b roll"?

2. How did the B Roll change your clip?

3. What do you think is inferred to the viewer when they watch this?
