For this project, we had to tell a short story in 15 shots using different types of camera angles. My partner and I went with a heist story: two criminals sneak into a museum, one gets caught, and then they both manage to escape in the end.
The fun part was figuring out which shots would add the most drama. The low-angle shots made the characters look powerful, while the high-angle ones flipped that and made them look small and vulnerable. I really liked the extreme close-up with the dutch angle because it really added tension to the scene.
If I could redo it, I’d probably work more on the establishing shot and the last shot. Showing more of the museum up front would’ve made the setting clearer, and not ending so abruptly would've given more emphasis to the escape part of the scene without leaving viewers with such a quick ending.
Overall, I liked how the shots gave personality to objects that don’t normally have any. It ended up feeling like a complete short story and gave the viewers the ability to see past the objects and into the meaning of the story, which is exactly what we were aiming for.
