Tips others than those given to us during class that I have researched covers working examples in editing, cinematography, camera works, a brief highlight of the rule of thirds and camera movement techniques.
Different Types of Shots we would try to Create in our Film Intro
Ridley Scott camera shots: would love to incorporate zoom and tilt technique ( from gladiator) into our film intro because there is a similar event in our film that highlights dominance and power over a another person, due to the low angle of the camera on the character
We would also like to incorporate a shot used by Steven Spielberg in "Saving Private Ryan" which is a Sideways tracking shot with actors approaching camera at the end this would be good to use during the running segment of the film, this keep the film fast paced during a quite part of the film
In thiscamera frames a character reflected in a mirror in a wide shot; the character then enters the frame, resulting in a closeup. It is a very effective way to shift from a wide shot to a tighter shot of the same character, all in one uncut shot. The following example is from Spielberg’s “Minority Report”
In this type of shot the camera physically moves in on the subject, typically going from a medium close-up to a tighter close-up. The movement is smooth, the background is blurred, and it is typically used to draw attention to a significant moment in a character’s story.
