What did you notice?

2. What did you notice? • Did the director use long, medium or close-up shots? When? • What is the color of the film clip? • What other things do you notice?

4. Soft focus is when a director intentionally puts his or her subject out of focus (slightly) to make the image look soft or unclear. It can be used in a romantic movie to create a lighter mood. Can also be used to communicate uncertainty.

5. Next,rack focus is a technique which allows the director to shift the audience’s attention (or focus) from one object to another in the same shot without cutting the scene.

6. Then, there is deep focus. Deep focus allows everything in the scene to be in focus.

8. Angles: Positioning of the camera We will take a look at 4 camera positions: • Straight on angle or ey- Camera is looking straight at subject

10. Angles: Positioning of the camera We will take a look at 4 camera positions: 2. High angle- Camera is ABOVE subject looking DOWN

12. Angles: Positioning of the camera We will take a look at 4 camera positions: 3) Low angle Camera is BELOW the subject looking UP

14. Angles: Positioning of the camera We will take a look at 4 camera positions: 4)Dutch angle Camera is tilted; images are off balance or off kilter

16. Camera Movement:Basically, how the camera moves There are 4 techniques we examine: Pan Tilt Zoom Dolly

17. Pan This is when the camera is moved horizontally from left to right or right to left.

18. Tilt This is when the camera is moved vertically up and down.

19. Zoom The camera magnifies an image. Zooming alters the focal length of the lens to give the illusion of moving closer to or further away from the action.

20. Dolly This is like zooming, but 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. The effect is that the subject appears stationary while the background size changes (this is called perspective distortion).
