Something over time that I show to lack is the knowledge of film vocabulary used correctly. I noticed this while trying to make my production proposal. There are definitely terms I need to figure out and study to correctly use them in order to know what I'm saying.
Something I said was a "leveled angle", this is not the correct use of a certain type of angle in film and therefore needs to be corrected.
After watching this video, I got a better understanding for the angles I didnt know about. What I meant to say instead of "leveled angle" was eye-level angle. This angle is where the camera is placed at the same height as the subject's eyes. I also did the same thing for when we have to show a hip-level angle.
What I also saw to not understand much was the use of the sizes of the shots. Although I do know some shot sizes, I don't know every single one. For example, I decided to use "medium shot" a lot to describe something that is a little bit close to the camera.
After watching this video, now I know the difference between all shots. Supposedly there was a other shot called a medium wide shot in which one of my shots contain that was named as a medium shot. The medium shot is a shot from the waist up of the character. A medium wide shot is the mid-thigh up of the character. Not much difference but they are still different terms. I also saw that a medium close-up shot exists, in which showed that one of my shots also contain this certain term. I saw the close up shot as the term to see the shoulder up of the character.
Now that I know my mistakes of using the wrong film terms to describe the certain type of shots, I can have a better understanding of the shots I need to record.
