You’ll need powerful film techniques to help you achieve your goals.Ĭinematography is all about the art of visual storytelling. But to really become a cinematographer, you’ll need more than just the gear and technical know-how. Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men has a fantastic one take which was shot entirely on the process trailer movement.Do you dream of shooting your own music videos or feature films for a living? There are many important things that you’ll need to know and equip yourself with in order to get started in the field. This is preferrable for many big budget films as it is the most authentic to way to shoot a car scene, but also the most expensive one. As the car is not subjected to the limitations of traffic and size, the DoP has a better range to shoot their scenes with. This provides better freedom and versatility when trying to shoot vehicle scenes. When cameras are mounted on a trailer towed by a tracking vehicle for the purpose of being used as a moving camera platform, it is known as the process trailer movement. The slow shutter speed movement adds heavily to the chaos of the battlefield. The most noteworthy use of this technique is in Saving Private Ryan’s storming the beach scene. You can also use this effect to show that time has slowed down. This movement brings in a lot of chaotic energy into the shot, as the motion blur is more than expected, the whole shot seems very chaotic. When the shutter speed of the camera is intentionally set to a low shutter speed to get pronounced motion blur in the shot, the shot is then said to have slow shutter movement. This movement has often be used to shoot action sequences, gun fire scenes etc. When the camera moves around the subject in an arc it is called as the arc movement.
La Haine and Jaws are some of the films to use the Vertigo Movement. It is also called the Hitchcock shot or the Dolly Zoom. This movement was first seen in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, hence the name. It can be done slow or fast, slow for a subconscious effect and fast for an unnerving, apparent effect. Majority of the effect has to do with the telephoto compression which gets toggled once you zoom in from a wide angle to a telephoto angle. It can extend or reduce distances to the subject in frame.
But once executed properly, this movement can incite a different type of unease and unrest in the audience’s perspective. This movement takes synergy and lot of practice to execute properly. It is imperative to maintain the frame size of the shot otherwise the vertigo dissipates. Combining the Zoom in with a Dolly out or a Zoom out with a Dolly in will lead to a vertigo movement.
