Framing II – Camera Movement

- Think about the effects of the camera movement

- What is hidden or revealed?

- Whose perspective is it? POV?

- How does framing effect time and space in a scene?

- Pan: right to left

- Tilt: up and down

- Tracking/Dolly shot: any direction

- Crane shot: above ground level

- Handheld

- Increase spatial information

- Do you think objects become sharper or more vivid than in stationary framings? Since new objects, spaces, figures are revealed

- How does camera movement function as a substitute for our movement? And to what effect?
