Camera Movement
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P5nPMXtz6w
This is a video of Pan camera movement. This camera movement has a general impact on the scene as it sets up the preparation of what maybe leaving from that scene. The stimulus maybe leaving for a long or short period of time but either way this camera movement puts us, as the audience, in the position of the person who is saying bye to the stimulus. As an audience it generates us to have the same feelings and emotions that maybe running through the actor/actresses mind during the upsetting moment of the stimulus leaving. This camera angle doesn't show any close facial expressions, body language or make up therefore we are unable to see what the character who is leaving is feeling due to their facial expressions and body language.
This is an example image of track camera movement. This allows the camera to zoom in from a distance, when it is zoomed in to its full potential it makes the audience understand what they should have been paying attention on. For example, if there was two men at a table talking then once the camera zooms in by moving forward then the centre of attention could be a gun in one of the mans pocket. This then changes the mood of the audience from a relaxed and ordinary talk with a man to a threatening and dangerous situation that they maybe in. This camera movement is effective as it guides the audience into paying more attention and realising how moods and scenarios can change by one object. This camera movement also focuses on the facial expressions, costume, hair and make up of the actor/actresses as the camera is slowly moving closer to them.
This is an example of tilt camera movement. Tilt is able to tilt up or tilt down, this would be useful as it can change what the main focus is on the screen. It is useful to use the tilt up and down as it allows us as the audience to view the whole image of a person or object. By showing the whole image of a person or object then this will help to judge a character or object fully as one certain section maybe perfectly normal but the other two sections may create a bad image or negative stereotype of this person or object. Therefore, this camera movement is able to represent and provide the true reflection of a person or object.

Frames
Extreme Close Up
By having the aspect of extreme close up it makes it clear to the audience what the center of attention is. It also makes it clear that there is a form of intensity and what aspect should the audience be focusing and observing with great severity. It also shows the facial expressions and emotions that maybe projecting in the individuals face as they are the main focus.
Big Close Up
Using the big close up effect helps the audience to see a clear image of what the actor/actresses reaction and facial expressions are. This reaction or facial expression maybe vital for the audience to observe as it may be crucial to understand the meaning of the scene. We are also able to see the hair and make up of the women, this may project what type of women she maybe and what her status maybe within the scene.
Close Up
There is still the aspect of a back ground visible within the image of the girl. This then makes it obvious to the viewers what they are supposed to be focusing on as there isn't any relevant images in the background. There is still major focus on the women within this camera shot as we are able to see her body language, facial expressions and make up. This will then make it obvious what she is feeling, her status and her well being by these three aspects.
Mid Shot
This image involves the location, background, outfit and facial expressions. This is useful when the audience is watching a film or observing the image as they will understand what is happening at that exact moment. This is because it includes the setting, time of day and body language, etc.
Mid Long Shot
This image is a detailed shot as it shows the monster truck flying over the hump of sand on the course. It also shows a wide and overall image of the location and of where this task may have occurred and what time of day it was. By having the full image it creates and forms the aura to be very impressive.
Long Shot
There are some positives and negatives with using the long shot angle. The positives are that it gives a magnificent picture of the background, setting and time of day. However, a negative aspect of using long shot is that the audience is not able to see the facial expressions or body language of the actor/actresses very clearly.
Extreme Long Shot
This view is a form of panoramic image. This then provides a wider figure of either the setting or environment which would then portray to the audience the beautiful setting or the intense or calm environment.
Point Of View Shot
This is when there is a form of conversation and the camera shot is shown from one of the people involved within the dialogue. This is effective because it guides the audience to see what type of person the other individual/s are. It also questions the audience to see what the relationship is between the individual/s.
Worm's Eye View
The worm's eye effect gives the impression that the actor or actress is feeling mad intensity or feeling very small in a big situation. This is because they are observing the situation or scenario from a lower angle which then portrays their confidence or their little self esteem caused by the situation. The individuals may feel as if they are out of their comfort zone and may therefore force themselves to be a non confident individual.
Birds Eye View
Using the birds eye view effect provides an extreme wide and height view of the environment or setting. This creates a form of power and great energy as the audience is taking this view from a "God's" point of view, this therefore links with the feeling of greatness. This camera shot also shows a clear image of the settings, location and time of day that it was taken at.
Aerial View
The aerial view provides the audience with the ultimate panoramic view. This maybe used when showing the lengthy distance between two characters in the film. It may also be used to show the current state of what a country maybe going through for example, a war or natural disasters. By having this aerial view you are able to use it day or night, the lights from the country or towns would light up the country at night time.
Crane View
By using the crane view this helps to focus on the objects that are closest to the crane view shot. This then assists the audience to understand what the centre of attention is and also what the surrounding areas are like. This is because the surrounding areas or individuals may have an affect on the story or image.
High Angle
This angle shot helps to create the sense of looking in and creeping in on what you should not be looking or observing. This then forms a mysterious and secretive form of angle shot because you are observing a scene or scenario but no body knows that you are watching as an audience. There is no clear image of the actors/actresses facial expressions, clothing or hair and make up, but we are able to see what their body language is presenting due to the distance.
Low Angle
The low angle shot is effective as you are able to see clearly what the actors/actresses facial expressions, costume, make up and hair styles are. This would be helpful to the audience as they would be able to recognise and analyse what kind of state they are in and their status within the scene. By using this angle it generates a sign of being a lower status than them and seeing these individuals as a role model as you are looking up to them.
