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 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.

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.
