Camera Practise Shots

We have used these different shots, to try and get across the narrative of it being a students first day at school. To take this shot we used the panorama function on my iPhone. To set the scene we decided to open the narrative with an establishing shot. As you can see the opening shot gives you a 'general view', which is of Tupton hall school.

To follow the narrative we used a close up to fit the whole sign in, so the viewer focuses on the direction board. We used this to show how the student may feel lost as it is their first day, therefore doesn't know where everything is, so needs to be pointed in the right direction

The shot/reverse shot shows the audience a conversation between Niamh and Laura and how the react to eachover. The audience can infer that the conversation between them is quite pleasant as Laura is smiling at Niamh. This follows the narrative, as it shows how the student begins to make a friends on their first day.

We used a long shot to show how the student is dominated by their surroundings. This shot follows the narrative, as the audience can see how small the student is compared to the school. As the student is new they may feel like nothing compared to how big the school actually is, they may feel like they don't really matter to the school.

For this shot we used an extreme close up of the students eye, to show tiredness. The shot zooms into the eye  to show it in detail, the viewer can see it is blood shot. This shot follows the narrative as the first day of school can often be tiring and stressful, therefore the viewer can infer that, the students first day is coming to an end. 

To finish with we used a low shot, to make the viewer feel like they're looking through the eyes of someone else. This fits into the narrative, because it is a ride sign, the viewer can infer that the student is on the way home from school in a car. We used this shot because the student may feel over whelmed by the day, therefore they feel small in comparison to everything else. The student may also feel relived that their first day is over, confidence may grow as the year progresses.
