Individual Assignment
Low-Angle shot || High: At 1:28 when the camera is looking up at Greg sometime before the race, Low: At 1:11 when the camera is looking down at the track so you can see the whole thing || High: To make it look like it's an important moment or that he is important Low: To show the whole track so you can see it and what it's like ||
 * 1. Create a wiki page called Analyzing Moving Images //initials.//**
 * 2. Copy the chart below. Paste it on your wiki page. Watch the video again and complete the chart.**
 * **Distance of camera** || **Brief details** || **Why chosen/effect** ||
 * long shots || At 1:07 before Greg Tracy starts talking about the elevations of the track || To show the setting of where Pikes Peak Track is ||
 * medium shots || At 3:29 after Greg won the race and he was cruising on his motorcycle high five people || To show you what he's doing and to stream along the fans as he cruises down the road ||
 * close up shots || At 2:54 when the grandmother of Greg's kids is holding the radio || To emphasize the joy and feeling on her face when she heard that he won ||
 * big close up shots || At 2:13 when it's an extreme close up of his helmet when he's just started the race || To show his focus and attention on the road ||
 * **Type of shot/movement** || **Brief details** || **Why chosen/effect** ||
 * Pan || At 2:55-2:57 when it pans from his (Greg's) mother to his son || To show who else was listening when he was talking and to show the emotion of more than one person when they were listening ||
 * Tilt || At 3:00-3:04 when Greg looks down and picks up his daughter the camera tilts down and then back up with him || To show who he was looking at and who he's picking up (his daughter) so that he is not randomly out of the picture for a couple seconds and then he all of a sudden comes with a little girl, it is so the video flows ||
 * High-Angle shot
 * High-Angle shot
 * Point of View || At 2:29 when it's (the camera) is looking at the road || To show what the race was like from how he was seeing it ||
 * **Type of Edit** || **Brief Details** || **Why chosen/effect** ||
 * Cut || At 2:57-2:58 it cuts from his mother and son to an extreme close up shot of his face and helmet when he is on the motorcycle || To go between scenes quickly ||
 * Fade || At 0:20-0:23 it, very quikly, fades into the scene with Rhys Millen talking about if he ever got big air up on the track that he thinks he would never come down || To go between scenes but it has a little detail, you can easily tell the difference between a cut and a fade ||
 * Dissolve || At 3:05-3:09 it dissolves from him picking up his daughter into him talking with his son and another boy || To go between scenes, slower but has more feel to it ||
 * Wipe || --There may have been a wipe somewhere in the video, but if there was i didn't see it, maybe you could point it out to me at our next class so I can recognize it in future assignments-- ||  ||
 * Wipe || --There may have been a wipe somewhere in the video, but if there was i didn't see it, maybe you could point it out to me at our next class so I can recognize it in future assignments-- ||  ||
