Document Summary
Week 06: mobile framing and the long take. Mobile framing; in camera angle, height, distance, Consequence is that the filmmaker manipulates the audience to the mise en scene. Framing changes what and how you see something. Functions to render off and on screen space. Camera movement is a constant change in off screen framing. Swish pan blurs the image because it moves so quickly. Tracking (dolly or trucking) shot travel in any direction along the ground, most controlled type of camera movement. Crane forwards backwards side to side ect. Hand-held shot gives a rough, jerky, bumpy, jiggly, image often used to heighten realism: steadicam: harness connected to cameraman shots with great smoothness despite being a handheld shot. Can also be added with a crane shot. Pay attention to spacial relationships, the terrain and how that would effect the type of camera shooting they would use. A shift towards the telephoto range makes the planes look closer together vs. the opposite.
