Camera Movement
Pan Shot
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) directed by Wes Anderson
Synopsis: Moonrise Kingdom follows the young love between Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward) and the obstacles placed infront of them by their parents and other adults on the small island of New Penzance
Form : The pan shot used in this scene is used to show the different lifes or moments happening in each room. The way it's done makes it seem as though each room is it's own contained scene and gives the audience the feeling of a guest exploring the rooms and everyday life of Suzy's home.
Crane/Jib
Twilight Zone - "Time Enough at Last" 1959
Directed by John Brahm
Synopsis : Henry, a bank teller has a love of reading but is always incapable of finding time to indulge in his passion. That is, until a hydrogen bomb has wiped civilization with Henry as the only survivor after passing out in a bank vault.
Form: Henry now has time to read all the books he wants. However he is completely alone, not a single human or animal in sight. The crane shot that starts at the staircase and pulls back forms this feeling by giving Henry a tight shot but zooming out to show how along he really is, while also combining this with a tilt down angle to give him powerlessness.
Handheld
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) directed by Wes Anderson
Synopsis - In this scene Sam is captured by Suzy's beauty and leaves the play to wander to the girl's dressing room to have a word face to face.
Form: The camera follows Sam as he gets up and leaves and the camera follows behind him, illustrating the feeling that Sam occupies his own world. His surroundings become foreign as adults watch him wondering where he's going, or he seems unfamiliar once he's in the girls side of the backstage. We are currently in Sam's perspective in this instance.
Drone
Mt. Fuji in the Sea of Trees (2015)
by Crescendo L Design
Logline : This a aerial view of Mt. Fuji and the vast forest that surrounds it, Aokigahara also known as the sea of trees.
Form: The drone shot really encompasses a larger than life feeling to nature. Giving the audience a chance to take a step back and look at a bigger picture that is almost humanly incapable of them to see.
Handheld
ROZU///adidasSkateboarding Japan(2017)
Form: These scenes are shot with another skateboarder following behind with a handheld camera. I think this is the best way to do skate videos, parkour or any heavy movement scene as it gives fluidity between the audience and the subject. When I watch this it not only gives the feeling that I'm in their world because its a tracking shot, but also as if I'm apart of the rhythm because the camera man is simulating that speed for the audience.
