Review of camera angles from Enola Holmes (2020)  produced by Mary Parent           I chose this movie to portray the camera angles because adventure and mystery typed of  movies are one of my most favorite, they create a lot of suspense and eagerness. Also, they tend to have plenty different camera angles associated with different scenes. This movie is about a girl, Enola Holmes sister, who goes on a quest to find her missing mother with different clues that she left for her. I haven't read the book, but I think it will be filled with actions and adventures. After all she is Sherlock Holmes sister.            The first angle that I chose is an establishing shot. It can be seen in the beginning of the movie as Enola gives a little bet of background story. It sets the mood and shows the setting for the movie. She lived on the country side filled with mountains and trees.           Thi...

I commented on Kevmely's post stating that I enjoyed the extreme close up because it made me feel happy and her niece is adorable. The point of view shot made me feel on edge when it went pitch black. And the eye level shot made me a bit worry when she launched herself at the camera.  My second comment was on Courtney's post, in which I stated that I enjoyed the long shot, it made me feel happy and excited. The boom shot was very well done and it made me feel eager waiting for the cat to jump. The cut away shot was filled with anticipation and I found it kind of funny because of how gracefully she was falling. 

  Establishing shot- It sets a gloomy mood with rain in a forest. It's peaceful yet mysterious. The shot was fairly easy to take and thankfully I didn't get wet since it was taking on the side of my house. Head on Shot- This is example is a car dive straight towards the camera. It was not complicated, but I just had to make sure I take the right angle. Point of view- This is a shot of me opening the door from my point of view. I was a little shaky because I was looking through the camera.   Tilt shot- This  is a shot of a building from bottom to top. It was simple and pretty easy to take. I just would of like it to be higher, but Naples don't have a lot of tall buildings. Full body shot- This capture the entire body of the subject. I don't have siblings so I had to use an animated object. It will probably be my to-go moving forward until I go back to school. Pan shot- This is my favorite shot. It's a view of a lake at a park, and it was going to rain that's why ...

I am taking this course because I really enjoy watching movies. I am fascinated by the behind the scenes and what goes into making a film. Also photography and cinematography is a big passion of mine. I hope to learn about the production of movies and analyst of scenes. I look forward to this class.
