Camera movement and composition

Master shot- This shot includes 2/3 actors at a crucial moment, allowing the audience to view all the important coverage.

Pan movement- This allows the audience to get a wide shot of the enitre setting, making them feel a part of the scene as they are identified with the surroundings.


Tilt movement- These movements show the vertical significance of something such as a building so the audience can gain a better understanding of the setting and perhaps the main venues and characters in the scene.


Dolly, Track movement- This presents a smooth movement of a particular scene, creating a professional look and effect for the audience.


Crane movement- This is a common way of ending a scene/movie which allow the reader to know when a scene is coming to an end or a better view of the setting.



Steadicam- Allows the audience to watch action/movement with ease as this is a smooth movement used in scenes.


Hand held- This movement can often create an uneasy and worried effect for the audience as they may not be used to viewing scenes like this during a particular film.


Zoom- This makes it easier for the viewer to be aware on the character's emotions and what they are feeling. It could also zoom in on a particular character to foreshadow that they may become important later on in the film.





Framing composition- This is so the audience can see the main subject in the middle of the photo, letting them know who/what is the most important subject.


rule-of-thirds


Rule of thirds composition- Is when an image is split into nine sections which creates four important parts of the image where you should place the point of interest, as studies have shown this is where natural people's eyes usually go when they are viewing an image. This shot is to help the audience focus on the main parts of interest and also help the viewers interact with the image more naturally.


Deph of field composition- This can create an effect on the audience by making them feel as if the main subject is isolated from the background- perhaps making them feel lonely or isolated themselves.


Shallow focus- Only allowing the audience to focus on the main subject- this will make them think that this particular character/subject is important as all the attention is on them.


Deep focus- This makes the audience aware of every aspect as they will think everything involved in the shot is important






Focus pulls- the focus is adjusted to draw the viewer's attention in to a particular subject.
