INRODUCTION TO CAMERA WORK

 CAMERAWORK



Camerawork is often defined as how the camera is

 operated, positioned, and moved for specific

 effects. Camerawork is a combination of mostly

 three things: Shot sizes, Camera angles, and

 camera framing.

 



Shot sizes contribute to determining the rhythm, the tone, and meaning of a scene. Perceiving which shot be the most gracefully and dramatically valuable for a specific scene is the most important role of the director and the production designer. 



Camera framing helps covering the action in a scene. The term framing camera refers to a camera designed to capture a series of consecutive images of events that are typically completed in nanosecond or microsecond timescales. 




The camera angle marks the specific location at which the movie camera or video camera is placed to take a shot. A scene may be shot from several camera angles simultaneously. This will give a different experience and sometimes emotion. The different camera angles will have different effects on the viewer and how they perceive the scene that is shot.

Genre Research and Analysis Film Case Study (6)

 This here is a project that me and my company GM&T UNIVERSAL PRODUCTION worked on for our midterm. We decided to analyze an adventurous themed movie called Red Notice. The project was divided into 6 sections, so we decided to divide the work because there were three of us, then work on the final draft together. This particular section (section five) was draft by student three. These here are some general information and analysis about the movie.

Section 7: Rubric

1-              Reflection question:

“What was the importance of experiencing a film analysis in Media Studies, and how did it influence your understanding of filmmaking?”

Learning film making in Media Studies really opened our mind to the meaning behind movies. This class helps us break down certain symbolic codes in between films shots. Everything like camera angle, props, setting, lighting, and even music. After learning this understanding of filmmaking, it will be much easier to produce the groups film and make sense of all the codes etc. Further, the analysis of movie helps us have a deeper, greater, and better understanding of how companies in the film industry works to attract, impact, and entertain their audience by using diverse methods and codes. Finally, film analysis is significant because it emphasizes how the setting and its various elements can be used to support the genre of a movie and gives information about the characteristics of the characters, hence understanding the culture of a movie.
