Camera Angles and Movement

Wednesday 24th September 2014

In today's lesson I learnt more about camera angles and movement and the rules behind it. For example, I learnt that movies and TV shows etc are filmed in many different shots such as an extreme close up and that they are all used for different effects on the viewer. For example I learnt that filming the close up of what we as an audience are meant to be watching such as a high five or somebody eyes, you can see the detail in it rather than shooting a movie through a mid shot and missing a lot of detail through facial expressions etc. Another thing I learnt was the 180' rule. This is used so as an audience we don't get confused about where a person on camera may be walking. For example, if they were walking from the left of the camera to the right, and then you decided to shoot them from their other half (or 180' or more from the last shot) it looks like they are walking the opposite way which may confuse the viewer.
