Week 3 Assigment: comment on student videos

I chose to comment on Kiley's and Laura's blogs.  Both of them had very unique ways of showing their specific camera angles that I enjoyed the most.  In Laura's post, I found the establishing shot, extremely long shot, head on shot, and low angle shot the most interesting.  The first two shots both created a personal feel of Marco inside me, while the head on shot made the viewer feel a personal connection with Laura's dog, and the low angle shot reminded me of how tall and large our palm trees are when we look at them.  When I viewed Kiley's blog post, her establishing shot, cameo shot, extreme close up shot, and head on shot stood out the most to me.  Her establishing shot gave me the feeling of being at home when it panned around the Lely courtyard.  I found the cameo shot very impressive since Cooper was able add dialogue into it.  Kiley's head on shot made me feel as if the subject was actually running at me, which I found pretty cool.  Of all Kiley's shots, her extreme close up shot spoke to me the most since the subject's eye's gave an eerie feeling when they slowly looked back and forth.
