Story Board- angle

As I mention before, angle is the most important when we are drawing the story board. Different angle and create different feelings. For example, when the camera shot the character from up to down, it make the character looks powerful, horrible and big. If we shot the character from above, it make the character looks small and weak.

This video has the example of both high angle and low angle.

For camera shot and movement, it is another difficult issues needs to be design when we are drawing story board and filming. As the image below, mostly we used medium long shot (MLS) size and filming with the eye-level. However we also need to use camera movement, mainly zooming and pan left to right( right to left). The pan movement is depending on the view. I personally like to shot from the views which not so important, and move to the most important one, usually is the character who going to moving or act, or the location where the main character is going to come out.

However, after started to film in these few weeks, we find that some shot sizes have problem with the distance. The final result is different with the story board, so the filming location need to be very clear when we filming in the real case.
