Camera Movement & composition
Camera Movement - Zoom: Uses the mechanics of the camera’s lens to make the subject appear closer or further away. Physical location of the camera does not change. - Pan: Horizontally pivoting the camera left or right. Physical location of the camera does not change. - Tilt: Vertically pivoting the camera up or down. Physical location of the camera does not change. - Dolly: The camera physically moves toward or away from the subject to make it appear closer or further away. - Truck: The camera physically moves horizontally (left or right). - Crane: The camera physically moves vertically (up or down).
Frame Composition - Rule of Thirds: Mentally dividing the frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically (similar to a tic-tac-toe board). The points of interest happen where the 1/3 lines intersect. So there are 4 places where your subject should be placed. Sometimes that meansthat the subject occupies 2/3 of the image, butoften not. Horizon lines should follow either the lower 1/3 line or the upper 1/3 line, and eyes shouldalways be on (or near) the upper 1/3 line. - Establishing Shot: Sets up a context for the scene by showing the relationship between the subject(s) and their environment. - Wide Shot: Shows subject and location or environment in its entirety. - Extreme Wide Shot: Used to show the subject and its environment from further back than a typical wide shot. - Medium Shot: Shows a part of the subject with more detail while still giving an impression of the location or environment. - Close Up Shot: Shows a particular part of a subject with more detail. - Extreme Close Up Shot: Shows a particular part of a subject with extreme detail. - High Angle Shot: When camera location is above normal eye-level compared to the subject. Makes the subject appear small, weak, inferior, or scared. - Low Angle Shot: When camera location is below normal eye-level compared to the subject. Makes the subject appear tall, powerful, dominating, or scary.
Above is my genre change project. The goal of the project was to take clips from a movie, and entirely change the genre. For mine, I changed the movie to a horror film. I thought Willy Wonka would be the perfect film to do this change because of all the already creepy parts. I had a lot of fun doing this project and I was a little sad that I had to wrap it up into a shorter video.
