In this week’s study, we learned about the movement of the lens and its different intentions. We saw clips about handheld shooting and steadicam in class, which are also expressions of party characters and scenes. These two shooting methods have completely different effects. The handheld camera will make the frame feel unstable, but at the same time it will also make the audience more immersive. Usually when shooting people’s movements, chasing, and slapstick scenes, the handheld shooting method will be used. However, steadicam increases the stability of the picture, maybe you will pay more attention to the character’s mood, dialogue and other details in this way. These two shooting methods are not good or bad, they are just to express different atmospheres and effects. There are multiple ways of camera movements during filming. In the clip from Notorious, the camera first pans the entire ballroom environment from a bird’s-eye viewer. At this time, the audience can see all kinds of people appearing in the picture, but it’s hard to grasp the point at that time. Then, the camera started zoom in until you can see the key which tightly holding by the actress. It definitely presents the subjective consciousness of the main character, the process of zooming in is also slow, detailed, but exciting. The scene of this character after this detail description became metaphorical. For the clip in Skyfall, there are many shots for the commander ‘Q’. He is still through the whole command process, however, the camera pans around him at eye-level angle, creates a calm image of him, which also make a sharp contrast to the nervous and flustered Bond in the mission. During the process that I film someting , i uses hand-held shooting a lot, for the technical issues that I don’t have any stabilizer to help with it, the biggest inconvenience that brings to me is the lack of pictures diversity and the impact forece. In oder to make complete and excellent film, the use of camera movement can never be ignored.
