Preliminary Exercise: Shot Sizes

      Shot sizes are how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a given frame of a video, photo, or animation, hence the scope or size of the shot. The nine shot sizes are the establishing shot(EST), master shot(MS), wide/long shot(WS, LS), full shot(FS), medium full shot(MFS), medium shot(MS), medium close-up(MCU), close-up shot(CU), and extreme close-up shot(ECU).

      Two shot sizes are the establishing shot and the master shot. An establishing shot is a shot at the head of a scene that clearly shows us the location. It shows the location of action and it helps to introduce new scenes. A master shot is a shot that captures all the action happening in a scene. It is an important factor in setting the tone of the scene and can be used to show multiple things happening in a scene.

      I worked with Micah G. and Sag W. We split the slides, so we each got 11 slides to do. We all worked together well. We did the slides we got in time to submit the powerpoint. Micah G. did these shot sizes. He did most of his work at home. The pictures he used were taken at school, a carnival, and at a dinner. He used a laptop at home and at school to the powerpoint.
