Introduction to Camera Movement

Camera Movement

 Camera movement is how the camera moves intentionally in space and time. It makes effects and shape within the film. in film it makes dynamics and makes scenes more interesting and natural. The cameraperson or cinematographer moves the camera in a film. Bong Joon-Ho and David Lynch are 2 people who are famous in the film industry. Bong Joon-Ho is a South Korean film director that made "Parasite" in 2019, "Memories of Murder" in 2003, and "Barking Dogs Never Bite" in 2000. David Lynch is a filmmaker and actor that worked on/ in "The Straight Story" in 1999, "What Did Jack Do?" in 2017, and "Mulholland Drive" in 2001.

    Before this lesson I knew about zooming in and zooming out. They are two of the most common in films. They can differ depending on the context (slowing zooming in or out and quickly zooming in or out.) I recognize because it is usually zooming in slowly on someone's face or zooming out on an establishing shot. 



    This chart was a representation of the12 camera movements we were presented. We had to analyze and explain what one each was. We gave the name of the movement, the definition of the movement, and the three key points on each.

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.

Creative Critical Reflection

     Through this process, the critical reflection was made to show out progress and understanding of media studies and everything that went along with it. The critical reflection showed my understanding of camera work like shot sizes, camera angles, camera composition, and camera framing, as well as camera movement. It showed my progress of learning mise en scene with colors, lighting, and anything to pertaining the process of the movie.      My critical reflection showed my creative side and the theme of the movie with the colors and the style of it. I wanted to show the process of the creation of my movie plus everything that could happen if it could possibly be released. Throughout the critical reflection I was able to think back on all the things that got me there and the process was great and the education that I got.
