Advanced Camera Movements

Crane Shots

(0:15-1:10)

(1:27-1:30)

Slider Shots

(2:14-2:18)

(1:18-1:23)

(0:49-0:53)

Wide Aperture Shots

(0:16-0:20)

(0:09-0:10)

One idea that I had for the crane was to mount the camera tilted down and position it in front of the subject and start high above the subject and slowly bring it down to a medium shot while keeping the subject as the focus. I thought that this would be an interesting shot for changing the perspective on the subject in regards to its environment. For the slider I was thinking about placing it perpendicular to the subject and then panning with the focus on the subject. This shot would allow for an emphasis to be put on the subject because they are staying at the center of the shot the whole time. With the wide aperture lense I wanted to try a pull focus shot where the focus starts on the body of the subject with their arm extented towards the camera. Then I would pull focus from the body, along the arm, and end at the hand of the subject to lead the audiences eye.

Donut scene

The biggest challenge that I faced in this project was making the plate. I wanted a particular look to the plate that was proving to be a challenge. I wanted the curve to go up and then out in a smooth and natural fashion. This was a little difficult to accomplish with the bezier curve because I was working with multiple curves in a slim area. It created difficulty because the curves were almost overlapping and made it hard to see which curve was which. I overcame this challenge through trial and error. I used trial and error by seeing what happened when one curve was adjusted and then I would undo that action. I kept doing this until I achieved the result that I wanted. That is how I overcame the challenge of forming the curves for the plate.

Film Score Investigation

Why Music? Music is an essential part of film. It can be used to set the tone for a scene or to drive the action. When used correctly in conjunction with visuals, music can transform the emotional experience of a film. Some of the most memorable moments of a film are because of the score. Film scores can be used to build tension, fear, or any emotion. For this investigation I will be learning about how to create a film score. The Psychological Effect of Music In Film 1 during our study of film history we discussed what is known as the Kuleshov effect. The Kuleshov effect is an analysis of how the audiences interpretation of an image changes in relation to the next image. So if you have a man with a neutral face and you cut to a hamburger and back to the man he looks hungry. Similarly, music creates a tone for the visuals presented to the audience. This tone is what allows the audience to understand the emotions they are intended to be feeling while viewing the film. A grea...
