Cinematography: Camera movement

Through out the production we discussed multiple aspects of  our production and ways in which to improve the outcome of the production and to progress from my AS project. The main key difference i discovered is camera movement. from studying film language and in my own time observing closely to existing films such as Inception, pulp fiction and Shawshank redemption. And saw that all these texts show huge evidence of camera movement and cinematography which exactly reflects the atmosphere of the scene and is still able to emerge you into the film without it being made obvious that there is an operator and crew behind the camera creating the illusion that you are watching it as it happens.

 

An example of the camera movements used in film are put together in this clip where it collaborates all significant camera movement and explains the motive behind using the specific movement. Close ups make you notice the characters facial expression. Which works along side the slight camera movement to immerse you with what is usually an intense or emotional scene where select moment and shots are needed to make the effect needed for the end product. in our first shoot we experimented and attempted to not use any static shots throughout the scene which meant not using a tripod and instead using a rig to create the slight unsteady shots which add to the urgency of the scene.
