Camerawork : Notes

                      MINORITY REPORT                           


First camera movement: 

In scene 0:11, it is a handheld camera movement as it follows the characters physical movement and gives the audience a sense of action as it may feel like they are a part of what's going on. 


Second camera movement:

In scene 0:21, it is a Zoom camera movement as the the camera comes in closer within the scene and puts our focus onto a certain prop which is a newspaper about why Captain John Anderton is a prime target on the front cover. It questions the audiences. 


Third camera movement:

In scene 1:06, it is a tilt camera movement giving us the whole setting of this exact part from a high angle point as the character is flying from a jetpack.

Camera work : blog task


My three camera shots :
In my first image of choice is a over the shoulder shot giving us the view behind the person which gives us a visual picture of the background and to show the characters point of view. This overall picture gives a sort of creepy angle as the character doesn't notice someone watching her which may be a threat to the character.


In my second image of choice is a close up shot showing the audience the characters facial expressions of being quite worried and intense. It provides a full face picture only focusing on her stunned type of look instead of concentrating in the background like the first image shown. This picture shows a full emotional reaction of this woman's face. 

In my third image of choice is a medium close-up two shot as the camera gets closer in on the character so that the face and top of the shoulder is being shown. This is also a two shot because you can see there is two characters in one shot. You can clearly see their nervous or tense energy within the picture which gives the audience questioning further on the tv show. 



Camera angle :
In this camera angle this image shows a high angle look which put the camera looking down presenting the characters look of accomplishment since he is a huge smile which gives the audience a lot to read off by their looks of emotion. This mostly focuses on his emotional state but shows a sense of weakness and vulnerability of the character as it overpowers his strongness. 

MISE-EN-SCENE : 
The props used in the video such as the computers, phones and radios that people have on a daily basis is now used as a lifeline to get to the doctor to save humanity which shows their courageousness. The dark lighting with the colours of fire and much more creates tension and danger.

Mise-en-scene : Stranger Things analysis

 


 In the first few minutes in this opening scene, there is a very tenebrous setting due to the flickering lights showing something wrong may have happened in the laboratory.



 In this part of the scene, this has a pitch-black setting in the background with high trees that which have a very intense look to them. The darkness has a way of overpowering their bright lights on each individual bike which make them look small and fragile with there big backpacks. 


 This scene has a very childhood look to it making it seem how an average teenager would be doing. The girlish bed sheets and the dial telephone to signal how this is set in 1983s.   

Audience : reception theory

 1) The Preferred reading of Jamie Edward Miller is that his emotional state of him looks guilty to the audiences eye and this reading is du...
