This first video is an example of a Dolly Shot, which aims to follow the subject(s) behind them, as if the camera is on a set of tracks.  In this clip, the subject is shown walking down a hallway with the camera following behind him.

This second video is a representation of an establishing shot, where the basis of the clip is to show a relatively wide angle of a scene to establish a setting and mood.  In this example, the court yard of Lely High is shown just as the sun is rising above the tree line. 

The above video is a follow shot, which aims to follow the subject along side while the camera stays at a constant distance, height, and angle.  

This video portrays a low angle shot of a subject where the camera is below the person and looking up towards the sky at the individual. 

This clip  is an example of a tilt shot where the camera moves slowly up and down as if on a vertical axis.  This specific image shows the contrast between the school courtyard and the surrounding sky above.

The clip above shows an example of a long shot, where the objective is to show the subject matter at a distance while also showing normal surroundings.

The image shown here is of an individuals eye, representing an extreme close-up shot of filming.

The media clip above shows a reaction shot.  This video clip was filmed of Trent under the Lely staircase.

The video above is a representation of a flash shot style of filming.  In this clip, Trent is shown quickly popping out from behind a pillar, and then quickly disappearing again.

Here is a representation of a full shot, showing the subject Trent's entire body in a still position.

In this shot, the subject is pictured walking across the Lely court yard from a high angle shot perspective.

Lastly, this image pictures a close-up shot of an individuals hand holding a water bottle upside down.

During the week that I was working on this filming angle project, I was able to discover and better understand many objects of filming and video taping images.  Several filming aspects I now have a better understanding of include the placement of light in front of or behind the subject, the best ways to fill space in pictures, how to work with keeping a more steady filming angle, and editing the video clips to make them proper for each filming shot style.  By the way I developed many of these skills, I found this project to be very fun and enjoyable.

Why AICE Media Studies?

When I look back at why I chose to take AICE Media Studies this year, two ideas came to mind: working towards achieving my AICE diploma for college as well as learning even more about our ever changing media and entertainment industry.  Since  the AICE Diploma is such a helpful and resourceful credential to have for college and later in life, I knew achieving this goal of mine would be a top priority.  By taking this class I can ensure that I have the ability to fully complete my AICE diploma by Senior year.  Furthermore, I also chose this class to expand my knowledge of how today's media is changing as well as fitting in with society.  In the last few decades alone, the world's media has changed drastically.  In any range of jobs, understanding and being able to interact with the world's media is very important in being able to communicate and succeed in our world today.  Since the basis of media is so new, it has so much potential to expand, become even more complex, and  further integrate into our modern society.  Through understanding media and achieving my AICE Diploma, I felt it would be very beneficial to take AICE Media Studies and understand the basis and platforms of how media is evolving and becoming even more and more important everyday.
