Camera angles

1. Establishing shot

Since the documentary is about fashion and beauty, we decided that it would be appropriate to have an establishing shot of a location for example London. Reason for this London is the prefect miss-en-scene. It is a location famous for being one of the worlds fashion capitals. Therefore due to our documentary focusing on fashion, this will engage our audience as many associate London with shopping and high profile. (Attention grabber)

2. Long shot

This shot is appropriate for us as it shows of an individuals clothing. Also allows a lack of bias to be conveyed to our audience.

3. mid-shot

This shall be used for interviews. Simple head and shoulders shot of our interviewees. Here the audience can see the emotions and body language of the interview and make a true judgement and opinion of what they are watching. The interviewee shall be placed at a slight angle facing the interviewer who is off camera.

3. Close up

Shows the audience the facial expresstions slightly more close up. This is done for impact for example when introducing an interviewee so the audience can start to get a rounded oppinion of them.

NO Over the shoulder shots as we wish not to create empathy or bias. There decision to the questions the documentary is based on should be ultimately made by our audience.
