Media Journal • Describe the difference between an extreme close-up and a macro shot.
Broadcast and Video Production I Camera Movement
Panning • Moving the camera from side to side. • The lens scans the scene to provide the viewer with elements of a scene that can’t be included in a wide-angle shot. • Panning can also provide information when needed, ex. It can follow a moving object. • Body Movement: To create a smooth shot, begin the pan in a twisted waist position with your feet pointing to where you want the shot to end. Then unwind as you pan the scene.
Tilting • Tilting up is used to show height. • Tilting down is used to show depth. • Tilting can show relationships between individuals in a scene. • Can be used to generate emotional responses. • Tilting upward: causes feelings of rising interest, expectation, hope, or anticipation. • Tilting downward: Can lower interest and create feelings of disappointment or sadness.
Trucking • Moving the camera along with a moving subject or parallel to a scene. • Used when a camera is moving with a person walking down a street. This shows the background moving but the person seems stationary. • Creates a feeling of observation or inspection.
Dollying • Moving a camera towards or away from the subject. • Moving toward subject: Creates a feeling of increased interest from the viewer. Ex. Camera moving in close to a sleeping person in a horror movie. • Moving away from subject: Creates a feeling of lower interest and relaxed tension.
Zooming • The speed of the zoom has an impact on the viewer. • Fast zooms bring emphasis and excitement. Slow is the opposite. You can use a slow zoom to create a more interesting shot.For example, if you were taping a speech with one camera, you could slowly zoom the camera out and create a more interesting version.
Remember • Steady Movements:Make sure the camera is steady because small movements are magnified on television. Try to act as if you are in slow motion. Use a tripod! • Walking with Camera:Avoid walking with the camera most of the time. • Non-moving shot:Camera movements should begin and end with a non-moving shot so that the viewer has enough time to recognize what is in the scene and where it ended up.
