During our last class, the lecturer talked of the wide angle shot used in video and where it can be used. This post is open to criticisms and suggestions and correction.
As per the explanation that was given, what came to my mind was Tusker Project Fame. Fortunately or unfortunately, I happen to have gone for a Live show two years ago, that was TPF-2. The place is a dome tent with all the video cameras and the microphones. There are also floor directors who really have a hard time controlling the live audience especially after Ian’s remarks.
Back to my point, when one watches TPF on television, it really looks like it is a big hall with a lot of space and a lot of audience who look really tiny. I am thinking, this is the work of the wide angle shot and the marvelous work of angles. I also tend to think that this is the “trick” that the camera men and directors and program producers use during political rallies and advertisements to manipulate the viewers but as for learned students, all this has changed.
