       Camera movement is a filmmaking technique that allows a frame or perspective to change based on how the camera is positioned on placed. There are movements like pan and tilt that can make the frame vertical and horizontal. There are even movements like static which does not move at all. Camera movement is commonly used in film to establish a scene or a character's personality. A dolly in shot for example, can be used to show how intense a situation is between two characters.     Many note-worthy directors were known for using different camera movement techniques. John Carpenter, for example, uses zoom in to, show each character's detail. In his case, it mainly applies to creatures, such as vampires, like in the ironically named movie, "Vampires". He zooms in on their teeth after they typically killed someone. This allows the audience to see the blood on the vampires mouth, which also shows how malicious and violent they are. Moreover, you can al...

    Camera framing is based on how subjects and objects are positioned in shots. There are two types of framing which are, loose and tight. Loose framing is when there is a lot of space in a scene. Tight framing is when there is little space in a space. One of the shots associated with camera framing is single shot. A single shot is when one subject is captured in a frame. A two-shot scene is the same, except there is two subjects in the frame rather than one. A three-shot scene is a medium shot that involves three subjects in a frame. A four-shot scene is a shot with four characters in a frame. A crowd shot is a shot of a group of people in a scene. A point-of-view shot shows what and who the character is looking at. An over-the-the-shoulder shot behind an actor to show the actor in front of them. An insert shot is a close-up or extreme close-up that focuses a viewers' attention to a specific subject.    On the assignment, me and my team were trying to identify...

  Camera composition is the way a film a scene or film is arranged. One of the shots in camera composition is rule of thirds. A rule of thirds shot divides the frame into thirds vertically and horizontally. A symmetry balance shot includes a subject that is at the center of the shot. An asymmetrical balance shot is when a frame has different visual weights that still balance out the shot. A leading lines shot has invisible lines that direct the viewer's attention. A shape shot shows how far each character is positioned within a scene. A deep focus shot is when the subject and its surrounding environment is in focus. Shallow focus is when the camera has the subject as the only focal point in a scene, while the rest is blurred.   In the assignment above, me and my team were supposed to identify camera composition and its elements.  As you can see, me and my team were incorrect in identifying what camera composition is. At the time, me and my team were struggling w...
