Preliminary Exercise: Camera movement organizer Week 1/09-1/13

 Camera Movement


In this assignment we defined the elements of Camera movement. For Instance, static. This shot is a devoid of camera movement. We also made a table and listed 3 key elements. For a static shot, the 3 key elements are that it's filled with movements. Such as, vehicles, characters, weather, props etc. 

Camera movement is a filmmaking technique that describes how a camera moves to strengthen a story. Examples of camera movement is pan, tilt, push in and push out. This is useful because it can help change the audience perspective without trimming. In addition, it's a creative way to engage the audience and grab the audience attention. The director of photography is responsible for camera movement. Two famous film industry people Walt Disney and Jordan Peele. Jordan Peele made Us, Get out and Nope. Walt Disney made the Parent trap, Sleeping beauty and Cinderella. From the Us movie, my favorite part was during the climax, when a Dolly Out shot was used to show all the antagonists. From Parent Trap, my favorite scene is when they used a tracking shot. When one of the twins, was trying to find their other twin in the hotel they were staying at. Lastly, two camera movement technique that I already knew was a tilt and pan shot.

In this slide, we defined 4 elements. Such as, static, pan, tilt and dolly in/push in. For pan shot, the definition for this is when you move the camera moves either to the left or right. The 3 key points is that it can be combined with different camera movements. For Example, dolly shots or tracking shots. Lastly, it establishes the location of a scene.
