Before Professor Ramirez-Burg’s discussion, I had no idea of the significance of the different types of shots during movies. I chose to use “Cinderella Story” as my example because it is one of my favorite movies and I can clearly see how the variety of shots makes the emotions clear. The first type of shot discussed was the long shot. The bottom right picture on the collage is the best example of the long shot because it is taken from a distance and gives an overview of how the love story ended with the two main characters riding away together.
The next shot discussed was the medium shot. The tope right photo on the collage is a good example of the medium shot because it lets the viewer know that Carter was Sam’s best friend, her go to guy, also a big part of the movie. Another example of the medium shot would be the sixth picture in the third column. This picture shows the cheerleaders and the two evil step sisters coming together to ultimately bring down Sam. All of the characters in this picture are the antagonists in the movie.
The third type of shot would be the close up. The best example of a close up shot would be the seventh picture in the first column. In this picture Sam’s emotions are expressed so clearly. She is extremely hurt by the skit that was just displayed by the cheerleaders for the whole school to see. It was about Sam and she was shocked, angry, and clearly upset.
