Camera Movement
  •  Crane Down- moves you into the story or the scene.
  • Crane up - gives us a feeling of how small the character is or how large the obstacle is that he or she has to overcome.
  • Handheld camera movement- can give us a feeling of uneasiness or danger.
  • Quick pan- can change the emotional feeling of a scene at once.
  • A quick push in- creates a feeling of surprise or shock. 
  • Slow dolly in- creates tension and helps us become a little more intimate with the character.
  • Slow dolly out- can leave the character looking emotionally lost or abandoned. 
  • Dolly across-  changes the emotional direction of a scene.
  • Glidecam- creates a motion thats more smooth than a handheld camera. Creates more of a dance feeling while two people hold guns.
  • Handheld camera- feels edgy and stressful.
  • Glidecam 360 reveal- gives you a calm before the storm feeling.
  • Zolly- creates an overwhelming emotional feeling.

·          Leading o    Leading lines refers to a technique of composition where the viewer of your photos attention is drawn to lines that lead to the main subject of the image. Leading Lines Vertical o    Vertical lines have the ability to convey a variety of different moods in a photograph ranging from power and strength (think of skyscrapers) to growth (think of trees). Vertical Lines ·          Horizontal o    In contrast to the effect of vertical lines, horizontal lines can lend a lazy, calm feeling to a photograph. They may bring to mind how it feels to lie down and be relaxed. Some examples of using horizontal lines to create a calming mood are to capture long, rolling waves on a shoreline, using the solid line of a fallen tree as a main element; and capturing the peaceful line of an ocean horizon.

Critique

Critique The comments I received were good because I could learn from them. Someone said that music would have helped and I agree with that. Also, someone said that the tempo was good and really added to the feeling that they got while watching which was my intention. I feel like I edited the clips for the tempo the best. The time between my clips were very short allowing me to establish a more intense film. Also, I think my acting was alright. My classmates also thought my acting was done well. Also they really liked the sound I put in to make it sound like a real bell was ringing so I could make it seem like a good reaction shot. I feel like there is a lot of things that I could improve on but I think my filming and transitions could have been improved on.  My classmates thought I should add music to bring the audience in. Otherwise, they felt like it would be boring without any sound. I think my stenghths are making the tempo fit the film well. I think my weaknesses ar...

In 1921 a Russian filmmaker, Lev Kuleshov, created what was called the Kuleshov effect. Many consider this editing technique to be one of the most important, if not the most important, in the film industry. This also led to the film technique called montage. In the original example of the Kuleshov effect, he uses a bowl of soup, a child in a coffin, an expressionless face, and an attractive person. By putting the same shot of the expressionless face after every other shot, it creates different moods for each shot. After the bowl of soup, the viewer may see the person as hungry. After the child in the coffin, the person may seem like he/she is grieving. Finally, after the attractive person, the person may seem lustful. Even though after every shot the person’s face remains unchanged, the viewer gets a different view of the person’s emotions. The Kuleshov effect started to shape the film industry as a whole after many discovered the incredible effects it could have in a film. Not only...
