This part of your homework is designed to get you thinking about camera movement ahead of you working with camcorders (and eventually making your own film openings) after half term.
You need to look at each of the following camera movements and read the relevant sheets in your pack (start at p28). For each type listed, create ONE post with a brief explanation of what the movement is physically, and then having chosen CAREFULLY an example from youtube (or your own snippet/other web based video file), embed it into the post. You then need to write about 5-6 focused and detailed sentences that explore the meanings/effects created by that camera movement (i.e. NOT mise-en-scene, not sound etc).
1. PANNING SHOT
2. TRACKING SHOT
3. WHIP PAN
4. REVERSE TRACK
5. CRASH ZOOM
6. CRANE/BIRDS EYE VIEW/AERIAL
7. WORM'S EYE VIEW
8. LOW ANGLE of any of the above
Good luck - Use the internet to help you with details, explanations and to search for examples and explanations - check what you're embedding - is it really a good example?
As an extension for the super fast among you, try finding a TROMBONE SHOT.
Look in our 'Making Sense of Film' for videos that show examples of what we have been studying and see if you can identify what is being achieved.
When you're working on your practical exercises - think about how you are moving the camera within and between focuses in a shot - how long will you hold? What movement will convey what you want to express?
This piece of work will be assessed.
