Note on Minor Camera Changes


During filming, we made a small but important change—we switched from using a DSLR to a strong smartphone camera. While the DSLR gave us good quality, we found the smartphone to be more practical for certain shots, especially in tight spaces or fast setups. The phone’s mobility allowed us to experiment with creative angles and get closer to the actors without interrupting the flow of the scene. Surprisingly, the quality still held up well, and with some smart lighting and editing, the footage blends seamlessly. This change reminded us that storytelling matters more than the gear—and sometimes, simpler tools do the job just as well.

**Hello, I’m Yamin Khan!** Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated by the way stories are told, how information is shared, and the impact that media has on our lives. This curiosity led me to pursue a field where these elements come together—**Media Studies**. **Why Media Studies?** Media isn't just about entertainment; it’s a powerful tool that shapes opinions, drives change, and connects the world.

Whether you’re a fellow media enthusiast or just curious about the field, I hope my posts inspire you to see the power and potential of media in new and exciting ways.

 Note on Camera Angles for Our Short Horror Film Objective: In our short horror film, we will employ a range of camera angles to enhance the storytelling and create a chilling atmosphere. Each angle will help shape the audience's perception and emotional response, contributing to the overall horror experience. Planned Camera Angles: 1. High Angle: Purpose: To shoot from above the subject, looking down. Effect: This angle makes characters appear vulnerable or powerless, enhancing feelings of fear and helplessness, especially in critical moments of danger. 2. Low Angle: Purpose: To shoot from below the subject, looking up. Effect: This angle can make characters seem larger, more menacing, or more powerful, heightening tension and creating an intimidating presence for antagonists. 3. Eye Level: Purpose: To position the camera at the same height as the characters' eyes. Effect: This angle provides a neutral perspective, allowing the audience to connect with the characters and their...
