Camera movements practice

Camera Movement
A director may choose to move the pace of action along by telling the narrative via a series of cuts, changing from one shot to another, or the camera may be moved with the action. The camera movement can draw the viewers attention to or away from something, or switch from one subject to another that appears in the same frame. E.g a tracking shot where the camera physically moves closer or further away from the subject is most commonly used to increase the drama of what is being said or done.

• Zooming- zoom lenses are a mechanical assembly designed with elements to vary its focal length, with he ability to magnify within the frame, as opposed to a fixed focal length. The magnification process can be reversed by zooming out, creating an opening for a long/ wide shot.

• Panning- panning involves a movement of scanning a scene/landscape from left to right (or vice versa). The tripod provides a stable axis point, allowing the sweeping motion to be free. This movement is often used to follow a character, as the camera can move, keeping the subject within the main focus of the frame, without minimising setting.

• Tilting-where the tripod remains stationary and the camera tilts up or down. Similar to panning but with alteration in direction, this movement can be applied to create a sense of unease in the character, creating suspense or mystery.

• Crane Shots- the crane (or jib) is a piece of equipment, size dependent on purpose. The camera is suspended and raised up according to the scene content- this effect allows horizontal and vertical movement, the location to be seen from a high angle, which can then be swept down out of the action.

• Tracking/Dollying- both the camera and tripod are mounted on a moving vehicle or platform (complicated shots involve rails), allowing smooth movements following the action, generally following a character or object. This type of shot is often a good way of the journey of a character, or for moving from a long shot to a close-up, gradually focusing the audience on a particular object or character.

• Handheld/ Steadicam-these cameras produce a jerky, ragged effect, in strong contrast to that of the tracking/ dolly shots. The Steadicam (a heavy contraption which is attached a camera to an operator by a harness. The camera is stabilized so it moves independently) brings smoothness to hand held camera movement. In modern filming, no "walk and talk" sequence would be complete without the use. Hand held cameras signify a kind of gritty realism, and they can draw the audience in, with the impression they are in the scene themselves, rather than viewing it in a still, set position.

Our media studies theory teacher taught us this all about camera movements in class.

Assignment 4:60 second video

60 Seconds video

For this assignment, our teacher told us to create a 60 seconds video with a powerful message.
Indeed this was a hard task keeping in mind the fact that we (my group members and I) were still amateurs. 


For this assignment we (my group members and I) worked extremely hard. So much so that one of the shooting techniques we used led to our teacher regarding it as a bonus point for the video. We had to film it twice as we unable to find the footage the first time. It was directed by my team member Sani Farshori and Me (Ramish latif), Written by Rija Ahmad, and everybody had shared their ideas.Here is the link to the video(I have shared two videos as the first one was a bit long)

Synopsis and 25 word pitch

SYNOPSIS: A maid is working in the hose when paranoia hits her. she takes steps to overcome her fear but it's not only the strange things happening around her that give birth to this fear. What could be happening and what will the consequences be.



PITCH: An experience filled with thrill and horror will consume the audience in unveiling the mystery of the maid. what will trigger her and how will she overcome it?


We are actually inspired by few film openings so its a mix of different movies we've seen over the years but my group members and I really enjoy the horror genre so we decided to make a horror film opening. But you can say as The exorcist and Conjuring 2 are one of are favourite movies so we might have taken a little inspiration from there otherwise its all our own ideas which we came up with.
