The purpose of this assignment is to teach us what Camera Movement is and how to apply them in film making. I was the Cameraman and Director, Teammate 1 was the actor, Teammate 2 was the screenwriter and Teammate 3 was the Set Designer. The hardest movement to film would probably be the tilt shot. The easiest one would be the pan shot. My group experience with this assignment was fine. The technology used in this is an iPhone 13.
Below are 5 video examples done in school:
The lesson we learned is Camera Movement. Camera Movement is a filmmaking technique that describes how a camera moves about to help enhance a story. There are 12 main Camera Movement techniques we learned in this assignment, Static, Pan, Whip Pan, Pan, Tilt, Zoom In & Out, Dolly In, Dolly Out, Tracking, Trucking, Crash Shot. My 2 favorite techniques out of all 10 are the Dolly In shot, camera is riding into a subject, and the Pan shot, moving left and right on a horizontal axis. I like the Pan shot because it is very flexible and can do a lot of different things in film. I like the Dolly In shot because of the different types of scenarios it can create in films.
