Preliminary Exercise: Camera Movement Videos

 Camera Movement Videos 

  The purpose of the exercise was to educate us on how to do camera movement as well as incorporate camerawork such as shot sizes, camera angles, camera framing, and camera composition to prepare us for the film we were going to make. Everyone in my group played a part in acting in the videos, as well as each of us took turns to film the videos for maximum efficiency. 

The first video taken was a zoom in, medium frame, over the shoulder, eye level shot. It was able to capture the emotions and feeling into the scene. The girl was looking at her friend in a mysterious manner after something happened between them.

The second video taken was a panning, establishing, eye level shot that was able to capture where all the scenes/ videos we made were taken place.

The third video was of the 500 building where most to all of the videos were taken place. This was supposed to be an eye level master pull out shot.

The fourth video was 3 friends with the middle being the popular girl looking and judging a room that they walked into. It was a low angle three tilt shot. It was to show the intensity of the scene.

The fifth video was a girl running away from someone following and stalking her, they were coming to her with a knife. This was a random movement eye level one shot. This was able to capture everything that was happening in the scene.

The last video was a dark shadow that was the thing that the girl was running away from in the last video. It was a static one shot that was eye level that showed the entire figure of the dark shadow.

Introduction to Storyboarding: Camera Angles

Camera Angles      Camera angles is the placement of the camera, that makes the angles how it is. The cinematographer does this to make dimension and dynamic in the film so that it isn't just one flat angle, this allows for emotion to be  conveyed  through the camera. For example, low angle shows dominance and power in the film whereas high angle (the polar opposite) shows submission and weakness.

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.

My Camera Work: Camera Framing

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.
