Document Summary
Subject in intersection of upper and vertical third in white clothing; draws our eye. Rule of thirds doesn"t work well in other cultures. Negative space: space on the screen where nothing seems to be happening: ex: picture of boy with yard in the background. Our eye is drawn to the backyard even though the boy is the subject. Especially in horror films when something is going to pop out. Camera movement: camera (doesn"t physically move; moves camera head, not body) Tilt: up and down (across a vertical axis) Lenses: zoom in and out, rack focus, moves lens without moving camera bodys. Kinesics: the physical movement of the camera itself; how the camera itself is moved to follow action: push in/out: towards subject. Dolly in or out: trucking, tracking, dolly: use track or vehicle to move camera, handheld, glidecam, steadicam: attaches camera to an operator who moves around.
