3. Understanding of camera shots


TASK: Create a PowerPoint that explains how micro elements are used in film openings to create meaning and provoke response in the audience. The PowerPoint should cover the following micro features:
  • Extreme close up
  • Close up
  • Medium shot
  • Long shot
  • Extreme long shot
  • Track
  • Pan
  • Tilt
  • Zoom
  • Cut
  • Pace
  • Performance
  • Diegetic
  • Non Diegetic
  • Mise en Scene (Setting, costume, figure expression, props)





Above is a presentation of my analysis of how camera shots are used in opening sequences to create meaning. My analysis was on the film 'Scream' and I created this presentation using http://www.powtoon.com/ and uploaded it onto https://www.youtube.com/. This analysis of the micro elements has allowed me to gain further knowledge on the importance of camera shots, performance, pace, sound and mise-en-scene, therefore this will be of great help when I come to producing my film opening. Additionally, analysing the camera shots of a horror film has made aware of all the camera shots that are used in horror films, so it is important for me to include as many as I can in order to produce a good quality film opening in order to make it appear realistic. As I have gained more insight into the typical conventions that are conveyed in the genre of my film, I will have no problem incorporating these in my own film opening.
