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.

Preliminary Exercise 3: Mise En Scene Codes and Genre Conventions Bubble Diagram

Genre in film is the type of film/ theme of the film, and for audiences knowing what the genre of a film helps them figure out if they are going to like it or not. Three genres that I usually enjoy watch is horror (usually has a dark disturbing subject matter), comedy (typically emphasizes the humor in a film), and Romance (focuses on a romantic relationship and story). These can be involved in the same movie which is why I really enjoy it. From the media it shows what the audience enjoy and once they know the background, they can be more engaged into the film. We were to pick a genre and movies that can go with the genre and fill out the customized bubble chart that goes along with it. I learned many components that go along with the genre "horror". I worked by myself, and I knew since I enjoy art stuff so much it was going to be a better assignment. To represent the horror in my poster I drew Penny Wise's iconic red balloon, Jason's mask, and the tree from the conju...

Introduction to Mise En Scene Codes Organizer

Elements of Mise En Scene      Mise en scene is examples of signs: camerawork, sound, editing. Knowing these signs are important to a film to further develop the overall style and quality of it. Mise en scene is what makes up the film, it helps develops the theme of the film, and it makes for better outcome of a film.      These pictures show the information that develops the movie further on. The mise en scene that is shown tells us that this movie is rustic and old but still modern in a way with a horror color scheme (dark colors and red for blood).

Camera Movement: Video Ideas Storyboard

  Camera Movement   For this project my teammates and I had to complete a video storyboard helping to explain what camera movement was. in the process we found out that camera movement is the perspective of camera changing by moving the camera around. For this storyboard we made nine different scenes, and we are making six videos from the planned-out scenes during class. Each of the storyboards we had to have a different camera movement and had to include the action line, shot size, camera angles and the framing for the scene. I was in charge of writing down the ideas the team had and then sketching it to make these scenes come to life.
