Camera technique evaluation


In our camera technique exercise, we had to show that we could use a variety of camera shots and angles. These where:
  • Long shot
  • Close up
  • Medium shot
  • High angle 
  • Pan 
  • Rolling shot 
  • Low angle
  • Tilt 
  • point of view
In the exercise we tried to use all of these camera shots and angles however we failed to use a close up and a low angle. this is because for the context of the idea we did not know how to fit these shots in. This does not mean we do not know how to use these but we struggled to fit them in. All other shots and angles we did use and the most effective and better ones are the point of view, rolling shot and high angle.

Firstly a point of view shot is when the camera is showing you a view from a characters eyes; so the audience see what they see. This shot was effective as it shows the journey that our characters are taking and how much they are trying to find their friend. This is further effective as the audience can follow along with the character and feel apart of the clip, this means the audience are more likely to feel the emotions of the characters.

Secondly a rolling shot is when the camera is fixed in a position but rotates so the images is either upside down or on its side. We effectively used a rolling shot when shelby is walking through a gate outside. The reason this is effective is because it shows that she is confide as where she is join and because she doesn't know where her friend is. Therefore the audience can easily see the emotions of this character just by the career shot.

Lastly a high angle is when the camera is positioned high up so any character or item looks smaller so essentially weaker and more vulnerable. We used this effectively as the two high angles we used make the character look smaller so she did seem weak. This was done so it shows the character is weak with our her friend so that is why she is desperately searching for her.

Graphic match


This post is about the use of a graphic match. This is an editing technique and is where two objects in different scenes are used to connect the two. The can be a straight cut, dissolve or fade over into the next scene. The two similar object ether look alike or similar in shape. This means two completely different scene can be strongly linked together effectively and this is done so the film may run more smoothly (continuity) and could show relationship between the scenes. Furthermore this is done so continuity is no effected.

A good example of this is in the movie "Space odyssey"; this example shows how a graphic match can link two scenes where one is in the past while the other in the future:



Another example is from Breaking Bad, the graphic match here is from a leaking pipe with droplets on to a teabag dripping tea. This is very effective as it could show the connection between the scenes, meaning that no matter what job you have (fixing a pipe or in an office) we all are the same.


Another good example could be from Psycho. Once Marion was killed we see a extreme close up of the blood going down the drain then there is a graphic match to an extreme close up of her eye. This is a great example as we see in both shots her life is "draining" away 


One last example is the graphic match me and my group did in our preliminary task, we linked one pen to another which could show the friendship between the two girls who had them. the watch my preliminary task, it will be in a different blog post specifically for it.
