HERO SHOTS
Artefact Β· The Question
Take one hero shot from a film. Where exactly is the subject in the frame β and what is that placement arguing that the script never says out loud?
Point the camera with intent.
- Think of a shot that stuck with you. Where was the subject in the frame?
- What does a close-up make you feel that a wide shot doesn't?
- Have you ever framed a photo so it 'just looked right'? What did you do?
- What's your guess for the 'rules' a camera operator follows?
- When does a shot feel powerful vs flat to you?
- Where does your eye go first in a picture, and why?
