Camera Angles, Movement, Sound and Editing:

Completed by: Me and Chloe King

Today, Chloe King and I began taking photo's of camera angels which we are interested to use within our opening. We used 2 models to show the camera angles. This will help us experiment with new and technical camera angles which we can attempt to use in our opening.
All photos were taken by Me. We will be using Photo Shop C2S to edit photos which will need to be editing during filming process. This blog will also identify the Media terminology.

 This is four shots of the 30 degree angel:






Camera Movement:

·         Pan – A movement which scans a scene horizontally. This can be used to give the viewer a panoramic view.

·         Dolly Shots - The camera is placed on a moving vehicle and moves alongside the action, generally following a moving figure or object.

·         Track - a shot where the camera follows a subject. The tracking shot can include smooth movements forward, backward, along the side of the subject, or on a curve but cannot include complex movement around a subject.

·         Crane – A crane shot is sometimes used to signify the end of a scene of a film. It will swoop in on action or movie diagonally out of it.

·         Steadicam - Allows a very smooth shot even when the operator is moving quickly over an uneven surface.

·         Tilt - A camera scans a set vertically.

·         Zoom – Using a zoom lens to appear to be moving closer to (zoom in) or further away from (zoom out) an object.

Sound:

·         Diegetic Sound – Sound that can be heard by the characters within a scene.

·         Non-diegetic Sound – sound that the characters cannot hear and is not part of the imaginary world of the story. For example, sound effects which have been edited in or a musical track

·         Score – Music which has been composed for the scene.

·         Sound Effects – Sounds that are added to a film during the post-production stage

Editing:

·         Editing – Sound and images are organised into the overall narrative during the editing process.

·         Continuity Editing – Known as ‘invisible editing’ as this effect does not draw attention to the editing process.

·         Jump Cut – This effect breaks the continuity of time by cutting forward from one part of action to another quickly.

·         Credits – The credits will give detailed of the cast and crew that took part in creating the film. These will be shown at the beginning and end of the film.

·         Cutaways – Quick shots of continuous action by inserting another related action.

·         Freeze Frame – Freezing the characters and scene within a film to focus on one important element of event.

·         Eye-line Match – a type of edit which cuts from one character to what that character has been looking at

·         Flashback – Within a scene the audience is shown an event happened earlier in the film.

·         Graphic Match – an edit effect in which two different objects of the same shape are dissolved from one into the other (e.g. colour, shape)

·         Juxtaposition – the placement of two (often opposed) images on either side of an edit to create an effect

·         Linear Narrative – a style of storytelling in which events happen chronologically.

·         Parallel Editing – a type of editing in which events in two locations are cut together

·         Visual Effects - visual effects are usually used to alter previously-filmed elements by adding, removing or enhancing objects within the scene

·         Match on Action – a cut which splits two different views of the same movement together to get the same movement

·         Superimposition - The exposure of more than one image on the same film strip.

·         Disequilibrium – the period of instability and insecurity in a film’s narrative.

·         Enigma – the question that is posed within a film.

·         Equilibrium – A peace atmosphere which often exists at the beginning of a film

·         Framing –Characters, setting and iconography that appear within a shot.

·         Artificial Light – Light that is not created by natural sources.
