camera movement




Tracking Shot-           A movie shot made by a camera moving steadily on a track or dolly.
 Crab-A less-common term for tracking or trucking.
Dolly-The camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very smooth movement. Also known as a tracking shot or trucking shot.
Dolly Zoom-A technique in which the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame.
Follow-The camera physically follows the subject at a more or less constant distance.
Pan-Horizontal movement, left and right.
Pedestal (Ped)-Moving the camera position vertically with respect to the subject.
Tilt-Vertical movement of the camera angle, i.e. pointing the camera up and down (as opposed to moving the whole camera up and down).
Track-Roughly synonymous with the dolly shot, but often defined more specifically as movement which stays a constant distance from the action, especially side-to-side movement.
Truck-Another term for tracking or dollying.
Zoom-Technically this isn't a camera move, but a change in the lens focal length with gives the illusion of moving the camera closer or further away.

my work from last week

I think we did good but i also believe we could of done much more in our work but i think it was overall good.



why i choose media


I choose media because it something which fascinates me because of the way they present certain things to its audience and also i thought would be easy to do. i hope achieve good grades and to understand why things are presented in the way they are in the media.

Establishing Shot-   is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.
Long Shot A photograph or a film or television shot in which the subject is shown at a relatively small scale.
Medium Shot- In photography, film, or videotape production, shot where the subject and background share equal dominance in the picture. A medium shot of an individual will take in the body from the knees or waist up.
Close Up- A photograph or a film or television shot in which the subject is tightly framed and shown at a relatively large scale.
Extreme Close Up- A picture taken at extremely close range; for example, an extreme close-up of a face might show only an eye.
Over-The-Shoulder Shot In film, a shot that gives us a character's point of view but that includes part of that character's shoulder or the side of the head in the shot.
High Angle ShotIn film, a high angle shot is usually when the camera angle is located above the eye-line.
Low Angle Shot-  A shot taken with the camera placed in a position below and pointing upward at the subject.
