Types Of Camera Movements

Types Of Camera Movements

In this YouTube video they show different types of camera movements

Pan:
Moving the camera lens to one side or another. You might pan across the audience at a wedding to show all the people there. You might pan from one character to someone who walks through the door to elevate the tension that wouldn’t exist with a fast cut.

Crane:
A crane shot is named so after the cantilevered arm device on which the camera sits.A crane's fluidity of movement and range of height can give an unusual omniscient perspective that is especially powerful if the audience knows something the character does not.


Tracking / Dolly:
This is a motion towards or motion from. The name comes from the old "dolly tracks" that used to be laid down for the heavy camera to move along

Zoom:
It involves changing the focal length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or further away in the frame

Handheld Shooting:
Sometimes the action is moving too quickly or too unpredictably for the camera to be on a tripod. This calls for making the camera more mobile and able to follow the action of a scene.

Advertising: Score case study and wider reading  We have already studied the changing representation of women in advertising but there is no doubt that the portrayal of men and masculinity has also changed significantly too. Our first advertising CSP, the 1967 Score hair cream advert, provides a compelling case study for the representation of both men and women. Notes from the lesson and the blog task are below. Hypermasculinity in advertising Advertising in the 1950s-1980s often featured a hypermasculine representation of men – and some representations in the media today still continue this.
