Cinematography

Cinematography is used in movies it looks at the way the camera shot is framed and movements of the angle that has been taken. These things allow the audience to respond in different ways by giving the audience a different sort of representation of the characters. There different type of camera shots that are used in thriller movie.

 

 

In this image a close up has been used to represent or capture the characters emotion. This gives the audiences an idea of what the characters emotion is.

  Medium shot is also known as MS- This camera shot shows  the audience from about the waist up from the character this camera shot shows the audience some details of the character.

 

 

 

 

 

     long shot ( LS)- This camera shot shows  what people are doing and the full body of the character also gives the audiences a view of what is going on.

 

 

 

 

    Extreme long shot ( ELS) –  The camera shot shows the audience the characters full body and the surrounding which people can set the scene from time to time.

 

 

      

Establishing shot is also known as ES. This camera shot is mostly used at the beginning of the film or scene. It also gives an idea of where the film is set.

Although they are different type of camera shot the are also two type of camera angles which are a high angel and a low angel.

       High angel is when the camera is looking down upon the character. This camera angel makes the characters appearance weak towards the audience.

 

    Low angel is when the camera is at a low position looking up towards the character. This camera angel makes the character look powerful and strong it also brings interest to the audience as they would believe in him and find him their hero.

 

From analysing cinematography I now know the different kinds of camera shots and angels that you can use for different type of scenes for example close up. I think that this camera shot is very useful as it reveals to the audience the characters emotion which they can also then judge. More over the use of cinematography is very important in movies as it brings interest to the audience and illiterates what is going on.
