Preliminary Exercise 10: Camera Movement Techniques Organizer

          In film, camera movement refers to the way a camera shifts to visually narrate and shape a viewer's perspective of a scene. In the planning of the film, camera movement helps influence mood and perspective, which enhances emotion and storytelling to engage the audience. To capture a shot, a camera can move left or right to make a pan shot, or up and down to make a tilt shot. Camera movement's effect on an audience can evoke specific emotions and can guide their focus to specific details. In this assignment, the goal is to gain knowledge and take note of the different camera movements that can be used in a film.

Reflection

            The objective of this assignment was to research camera movement techniques in film and place the research in an organized PowerPoint with visuals. I became more interested in camera movements when I watched a YouTube video. It was two of the same video but it demonstrated the video with and without camera movement. I realized how much more intrigued I was watching with movement, which led to me doing more research about it. In this activity, the PowerPoint contains the research me and my team did on camera movement. We split the research up so Peyton did the first three, Khloe did 4-6, I did 7-9, and Marley did 10-12. We used icons to create our own illustrations of the movements. We all are pretty familiar with Powerpoint so it was easy to do. During this activity, I learned how to apply camera movements in film to create a certain feeling or a certain focus.
