Sam Donley Researching Camera Movement Part 1
(I couldn't do more than three videos per post for some reason)

1)Pan Shot
0:56-end
Director Wes Anderson
DP: Robert Yeoman
Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Logline: The story of a legendary concierge and a lobby boy who becomes his closest friend at the Grand Budapest Hotel.
The camera rotates to show the different characters at different sides of this large room. The camera is in the center of all of them and it feels like you are standing in the middle quickly turning between characters like watching a tennis match. The camera motion is very comedic and makes the conversation feel even more silly despite the life or death circumstances.


2)crane/jib
2:43-end
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Director: James Gunn
DP: Henry Braham
Logline: The Guardians of the Galaxy face several threats while trying to uncover the truth of Star Lord's heritage

Form: This is the first scene where Peter accepts that he really is talking to his father who he had never met. His father teaches him of a great power Peter possesses and then they begin playing catch. The camera pulls up and out using a crane to show the classic image of a father and son playing catch, but instead of playing in the backyard they are on a beautiful alien planet which is showcased by the camera pulling away.


3)Handheld/Steadycam
1;13-1:18
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo
DP: Trent Opaloch

Content:To protect an old friend and stop a dangerous threat, Captain America is put at odds with his fellow Avengers.
Form: Scarlett Johansson's character is chasing somebody through a hectic marketplace. As she maneuvers through civilians and obstacles we are following her from a low angle with a shaky camera that makes it feel like we are running through the market with her. It feels much more intense than if we simply watched her run past the camera or if we saw her from a bird's eye view. We are down in the action with her and experiencing it the way she is (but with less flips).
