Blog 38: Camera Movement

Camera Movement 

    Hey bestie!!! Welcome back to my blog. I have been doing blogs about camera shot/angle, sounds, colors,... Therefore, today will be camera movement turn. Camera movement is an extremely important fragment in filming. It creates a sense of professionalism through the diverse use techniques in camera movement. 

    In this project, we opened up the scene with a zoom in on the calendar, indicating Gigi's birthday. To create a continuous scene as Gigi comes in, the camera zoom out and pan to Gigi and follow as she sit down. For most of the coming up scenes we utilize static filming to create a steady shot. Therefore, the audience will have a deeper grasp of the current plots. Since the upcoming scenes are title sequences, most our shot is a quick cut between motion in each scene. Most of the focus will be on the credit. Introducing each name requires less camera movement and center mostly on editing techniques like zoom in and tracking.  

  As the film progress over the main plot, the audience is already overwhelmed and eager to see what's coming up. Addition to Gigi's dad absent, we wanted to employ a dolly out camera movement to emphasizes the loneliness atmosphere. Accommodate to Gigi's blanking out, the static shot is back in. She continues to show off her distress and exit the room. In order to track Gigi's movement, we take advantage of the pan right/left movement to indicate a continuous scene as she walks down the stair. To develop a dynamic filming techniques, instead of repeatedly use of static movements and elliptical editing. We track Gigi's course through the use of steadicam, which allow us to move freely with a stabilizer and smoother footage.
