Research: Similar product research 16. Framing and angles

In this shot, the hands playing the piano as well as the piano keys have been shot in high angle and also tightly framed. Therefore, the movement of his hands is the main focus of the image and consequently the viewers attention is drawn to his skill. In order to make sure that the image is not to dark a hint of the background is also included in the frame (green grass), to lighten composition.

The painting is the main focus in this shot and therefore the woman is left of frame with only half of her head being included in the shot so that the paining can be fully seen.

I really liked this use of framing and angles because similar techniques are used to show the viewer both of the potential lovers' and their first meeting. For example, the male is shown looking into camera in a low angle and medium close up.

A matched cut is the made to show the woman looking up at the camera in a high angle medium close up. This implies that they are looking directly at each other as she is on the ground and he is physically above her.

I also like this use of framing as it shows the male in left of frame in a closeup shot as well as the secondary actor at the right of frame in medium close up. This gives the shot increased depth as well as allowing the viewer to believe the off screen action of the beautiful girl walking into view as well as showing two reactions.

This use of framing shows the closeness of the couple. They are shot in a medium long shot, right of frame. This leaves a lot of space to the left of the frame. However, the couple are not filling the space because they are locked in a tight embrace.

Centre framing allows the cinematographer to symbolise equality, mutual respect, complete happiness and a shared love between a couple.

Using long shot and framing the action in right of frame allows the viewer to also notice the Mis-en scene.

I like this low angle shot because it allows the viewers to ficus on the couples smiles as they embrace. The extremely tight framing and use of close up also shows that the couple have become infatuated with each other and at this moment are oblivious to surroundings as they are focused only on each other.

This use of framing allows the viewer to identify the object which is causing the actress distress. The medium close up allows the viewer to recognise the emotion.








How this research has influenced my planning:

• I really liked the use of matched cut to show someone looking back at another person. This was achieved by using high and low angle to show looking up and looking down.
