Introduction to Camera Framing PowerPoint

Camera Framing

    Camera framing is the way that characters are set up in the camera and appeal to the audience of the movie. For this section power point, me and my teammate utilized camera framing to analyze movie clips and find which movie had the certain camera framing in it. For example, every movie has a one shot. A one shot is when only one character is shown in the camera frame/ film. Whereas an over the shoulder shot, is when character are talking to one another and they put the camera over their shoulder to get the reaction of the other person they are talking to. 



    In the power point we had to add in a definition of camera framing that we were doing, movie's name, key points about the movie scene (small details on what's happening), and an action line clearing explain what is going on in the movie.

Camera Framing      Camera framing is the placement in which how many characters are in your shot. The position in which you put the camera will allow for a clearer view of what is happening, and the framed objects could look more aesthetically pleasing.          "Point of view" is the viewpoint of the character and what they are seeing at that moment. This gives a more personal feel to the film and provides clarity. An insert shot is the shot that shows a specific item or key detail in the film. It shows the importance and usually comes back later in the film.  

My Camera Work: Camera Composition

Camera Composition Camera Composition is how the cinematographer choses to arrange certain elements in the frame of photos or films, whether it is a character in the or item. This adds dimension and further improves the media. The leading lines shot enhances what they are leading to. In this example the lines are leading to a dark shadow at the end of the hallway, making this shot mysterious. Deep focus is the focus on one this while something else is blurred. This example blurs the surrounding things and the sky is the main focus.
