Camera Shots
From watching short clips from 'The Phonecall' and 'The Hurt Locker', I have learnt about different camera shots and camera angles that make the scene more interesting and even more dramatic.
In the scene, there were many different camera shots such as:
- Fast Cuts
- Quick Pans
- Fast Pace
- First Person - Point of View shot
- Handheld
- Crash Zooming
Not only were the shots interesting but the music was too. The tone of the music got louder building suspense. As the tone got louder, we saw an overhead shot of the main character who was being observed. There was a lot of close ups to show people's reactions and also a lot of cutaway shots to the children. These shots were quick but they definitely got me interested in the movie and thats what camera shots should do, it should attract to the audience which will engage them to watch the movie.
The camera shots used in 'The Hurt Locker' were all fantastic and they have inspired me to try out different camera angles to get some interesting shots. I have done video before so I know the basics about camera angles so I will use them to my advantage whilst looking at examples from 'The Hurt Locker' in my own work. The movie is definitely one of the best to look for camera shots as they use various types which look professional. They had a low budget to film the movie using super 16 mm cameras to capture multiple perspectives.
One of my favourite camera shots is the point of view shot. It is my favourite because it engages the audience to feel like they can really see what is going on themselves.
