Camera work

Throughout my lessons in Media so far we've been learning all about camera shots, angles and movement. This will help us understanding of what type of camera work we are going to use in our film and it will also show what effect it give off. By watching the opening of different type of thriller films I have analysed the camera work and explained why the director has done this. For instance, there's: extreme longs shot, long shot, mid shot, midium close up, close up and extreme close up. We have also learnt about angles: low, high, eye level, worms view and birds view. There is also movement we have looked at such as: panning, tracking, zooming and titling. Other types of camera work we've studied is breaking the 4th wall. This is when the actor/actress looks at the camera- acknowledges the audience.

Conclusion to learning
By looking at the types of camera work our group will be able to make decisions on shots, movement and angles when we our filming our movie. By learning the effects they give off (such as by using a low angle on someone to make them look powerful) will also help us understand camera.
