Camara Movement for comedy (preliminary exercise)




        What are the camera movements used in films?

    Camera movements are the variety of ways the camera can be moved on a vertical or horizontal axis to create an effect. Camera movements are most commonly used to direct the viewer's attention, reveal an offscreen area, and add information to a scene. Camera movements are important because they "follow the action, add a sense of forwarding momentum, add pace & energy, and allow the viewer to participate in the action."

        What camera movements are used in comedy films?

1. The Push (too far) in- When the camera pushes in it typically indicates that something of significance is on screen, but when the camera pushes in too far and breaks the intensity it shows that the movie is a comedy


2. Zoom-out: " an in-camera special effect where one shot zooms towards or away from the subject while simultaneously zooming out of or into the frame.". Typically used in comedy to lessen the importance of the subject

3. Tracking: "One in which the camera moves alongside what it's recording.". When combined with dialogue and music can create a comedic tone in the movie.

        How camera movements will help impact my movie

    After researching camera movements used for comedy, I plan on using some of these techniques in my film. Camera movements when paired with the right sound effect can make a scene appear to have comedic value. Camera movements are capable of creating effects that can completely change scenes. For our move, the revealed movement would be the most fitting scene we have a chase scene

Image
           For section 2 of the midterm, we were tasked with answering questions about the intended messages and audience of the film. The group worked together on this part. For questions that needed research, my groupmate Nicholas who was primarily in charge of the section would, research and explain what he found. From that information, we collaborated on what we thought the best answer was and he documented it. The research gave the group a better understanding of how movie use characters and conventions to give the message to their audience

Final Product (post production)

             https://youtu.be/UvkJotit_yQ                     After months of research, analysis, and production we finally finished our intro. We decided to give the main character (Spence Spencer), narration during the intro and ending sequences. During our first edit, we looked back at comedy movies and realized many had the main character narrate while no dialogue was occurring. We decided to follow this convention. We also added a new scene at the end to better establish the narrative of the rest of the movie. Another change that was added was the makeup. In our first draft it was obvious we never put thought into the makeup so we changed that by using makeup to give Spencer the main character a black eye in the last shot.
