Movement in film can be used in a variety of ways. What are some that you noticed are mentioned in this film? In what ways are they used? What are some films that you like that you could go home this weekend and study for their movement? What aspects of their camera movement interest you? Please explain.
Something I noticed was the effects of a dolly shot, versus a zoomed in follow-along shot. While they're not vastly different, they do offer a different feel to the shot. The dolly feeling more personal, and the zoomed in shot feeling more secretive. I also learned that one specific camera movement won't always feel the same. It's all about the context in which the movements are used. Camera movement and composition is the thing I'm the most interested in. I think I'm so interested in this because it seems the most difficult to remember everything, master everything, and know when to effectively use it. I'm interested in improving how I compose my shots and learning how different angles convey different meanings. While I'm very interested in film techniques, I find that I haven't watched too many movies. I'll set aside some time this weekend to watch 1-2 movies and note the movement and composition used, and take some notes.
