Critical Reflection 1.a. The three techniques I used more than once were: Master Shot, Aerial Shot, and Close-Up The Master Shot was very important because I showed all the characters. In this preliminary task my partner and I chose scenes that had four kids and a nanny. The Aerial Shot showed the view from the top to show what is happening to the nanny and the pranks they are doing to her. It gives the watcher a better view of what is happening. The Close-U shows the shot taken at a close range. The image is 80% of the frame and focuses attention on a specific object. I learned the Shot types and angles in my Aice Media Studies class from a packet that explains them. 1.b. My production skills improved tremendously throughout this project. I learned different shot types and angles that help give the watchers better view of the scenes. I improved establishing a meaning behind the scene. 1.c. I integrated technology online in this project.
