"In motion pictures and television production, opening shot that establishes the environment of a show or scene. The establishing shot usually has a wide field of view and serves to orient the audience to the surroundings of the situation they are about to see."
Got that off of answers.com.
It took me a while to figure out what my next shots would be, but eventually I settled on starting at the beginning. I mean, why not?
These two shots are taken in my neighborhood, at night. I figured I would give the camera a chance to show me what it's got in low-to-no light situations. It's clear that if I do any shooting at night, it'll need to be in a lit area. Or I can spend a couple grand on some lighting. Yeah, that's not going to happen.
One thing I did notice is that the normally innocuous looking house in the second shot looks kind of eerie in the dark. So there's that.
I think what I may end up doing it trying out different techniques that I enjoy from films I love, so I have more structure, once I've gotten the hang of the camera, it's capabilities and it's functions.
Anyway, here's tonight's shots. More tomorrow.
