Soul+Surfer

Colour: It is a little hard to tell, but that's Bethany's body as she got caught in a powerful wave. The colours in this shot are rather dark and gloomy, representing her fear and anxiety as she's losing the competition.



Wide shot: This is when the competitors are waiting anxiously for their next wave. This angle is good to show how everyone is waiting and it gives a good view of any waves that are about to come.

Light: I really liked this shot because its filmed underwater. It shows Bethany diving underwater and going back up. This shot can make the audience feel as if they too are underwater. The lighting towards the top is brighter so it serves as a hint that something good is going to happen when she reaches the surface. American Angle //(Camera distance)//: This is where Bethany is losing her competition and her dad is instructing her. The purpose of this shot is so that we can see the expressions of both Bethany and her dad. This is to make the audience fee l like they are part of the conversation. Lighting: The sun is in the background and it makes the surfer look like a silhouette. This shot gives a heavenly feel, and also an inspirational feel. This is when Bethany is winning so it's appropriate to have this sort of shot here.

Close up //(Camera placement and distance)//: Shows a close up of Bethany's determined expression on her face. The camera also moves with her so the placement makes it feel as though Bethany is moving towards the audience.

Dutch angle //(Camera angle)//: It's towards end of the competition, and Bethany is under pressure to win, so the director used the dutch angle to add tension

Close up + Actors //(Camera distance)//: In this shot, Bethany and her competitor are fighting for the wave. The director used this shot to show the actor's expressions and to make the audience feel as though they are surfing along Worm's Eye //(Camera Angle)//: The director used this angle to emphasize the surfer's domination of the waves (the surfer looks bigger than the wave)

Well done!
