Blog 7 Camera movement and editing

                Camera movement and editing

1) Pick three aspects of camera movement in the Minority Report clip. Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience

.Handheld.

The camera movement chosen is handheld movement. The director may have chosen to use this movement to create a sense of urgency and unease. This can effect the audience as the unsteady movement of the camera can build tension within the audience as it may be leading up to a important point within the plot.

.Pan.

The camera movement chosen is Pan. The director may have chosen to use this movement to create a fast paced scene to create a feeling of action. This can effect the audience as the fast yet steady movement can create a sense of.

.Tilt.

The camera movement used is Tilt. The director may have chose this movement to make the subjects looks big and powerful. This can effect the audience as it can make them feel small and weak compared to the subject. 

2) Pick two aspects of editing in the Minority Report clip and write about what effect it has on the audience.

.Cut.

The use of the editing cut can create a sudden change of scenery within the audience making them have a sudden change in emotion or how they perceive the previous clip.

.Pace.

The use of the editing Pace can create a sudden change of pace going from slow to fast, this can evoke emotional reactions within the audience from the sudden change.

3) Finally, revise last week's work on camerawork by picking out two shots or camera angles in the clip that communicate meaning to the audience.

over the shoulder shot

The use of the over the shoulder shot can allow the audience to see what is happening from the subjects perspective allowing the audience to see and feel what the subject is feeling allowing the audience to find a meaning.

Medium close up shot

The use of the medium close up shot can allow the audience to analyse the subjects emotions or features to a greater depth allowing them to understand the meaning behind the subjects decisions.
