Untitled Romance #4 is my senior capstone. It was presented at Tarleton State University in the Fine Arts Building gallery. With this short film, I wanted to look at the modern idea of romance that has been impressed upon us through the media we consume, primarily movies. I think that using the expectations of the audience against them aids in the themes I am trying to explore. A large part of that, I think, is through the use of sounds and how it interacts with the world of the film and experience of the the viewer. I hope that the short film is an experience that can, at the very least, bring humor to the audience when watched. This film is made for educational purposes only.

Mid Shot. A medium shot, also called a mid-shot or waist shot, is a type of camera shot in film and television that shows an actor approximately from the waist up. A medium shot is used to emphasize both the actor and their surroundings by giving them an equal presence on screen. 2. Establishing Shot. An establishing shot sets up, or establishes, the context for a scene by showing the relationship between its important figures and objects. 3. Over-The-Shoulder Shot. The over the shoulder shot is a camera angle placed above the back of the shoulder and head of a subject. This shot is most commonly used to present conversational back and forth between two subjects. 4. Rack Focus. Also known as pulling focus or racking focus, rack focus is a camera-based filmmaking technique in which the focus changes over the course of the shot from one focal plane to another. This effect can be subtle or overt, slow or rapid. Filmmakers use this technique for stylistic and visual storytelling purposes. 5. Extreme Close Up (ECU). The extreme close up shot is generally used to allow the viewer to enter the character's personal space, revealing traits and emotions that might otherwise go unnoticed. The frame is so tight that using an extreme close up shot gives the viewer no choice but to experience the character's feelings alongside them. 6. Zolly Shot. A zolly shot, also known as a dolly zoom (and even at times referred to as 'the Vertigo effect"), is a technique wherein the camera is dollied either forward or backward while the zoom on the lens is pulled in the opposite direction. 7. Crash Zoom. This movement is famously used by Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino. This is when a zoom shot is executed rapidly, it is called a crash zoom. When you crash zoom into a close-up, it provides energy and impact to a reaction shot. 8. Pan Left and Pan Right (Camera Pan). Panning is when you move your camera horizontally; either left to right or right to left, while its base is fixated on a certain point. You are not moving the position of the camera itself, just the direction it faces. 8 & 1/2. Triangle Composition. Triangles are a great way of grouping together three points of a photograph and organizing them to portray a certain feeling such as stability, aggression, instability, etc. When you understand this, you can use them as invisible features of a photo to evoke strong feelings in the viewer. 9. Low Angle Shot. A shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is even directly below the subject's feet. Psychologically, the effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful. 9 & 1/2. Tilt Up. Vertical movement of the camera angle, i.e. pointing the camera up and down (as opposed to moving the whole camera up and down). Why: Like panning, to follow a subject or to show the top and bottom of a stationary object. With a tilt, you can also show how tall something is. 10. Shot-Reverse-Shot. Widely used in dialogue sequences and sequences in which characters exchange looks: one character is shown looking (sometimes offscreen) at another character, and in the next shot the second character is then shown looking back at the first. Often paired with the over-the-shoulder shot.
