This is an example of a close up, which helps the audience answer the who question. Who the character is. (Image H-Ref 1).
This medium shot helps to define what......the what here being dancing. (Image H-Ref 2).
The long shot can be used to show where, here it is show that she is at a party/club. (H-Ref 3).
Wide shots AND close ups are both used to show when as seen within these two pictures, the clock shows you the exact time, and the wide shot shows a certain period of the day. (Images H-Ref 4, H-Ref 5).
WHY- It was said in the lecture that the BIG CLOSE UP can answer the WHY question, when it comes to a still picture I find this concept hard to grasp, however within a movie a big close up may help to clarify the WHY question.
Medium close ups or a series of close ups can demonstrate the HOW. If the above picture were to be shown next to that of a pregnant person we would be able to see how that ocurred. (Image H-Ref 6).
The lecture also looked at head space and talking space which basically is about where a person is positioned in a shot. The rule of thirds was also looked at, however, the different shots was the most interesting part of the lecture for me, which is why I have concentrated on it for this blog.
