Camera Work Techniques

This video is a sample of 8 camera techniques. We start off with the pan shot and tilt shot, these shots were particularly easy as all I had to do was move the camera left and right and tilt it up and down. We then move to the dolly shot, this shot was harder than I expected because typically the camera moves on a still platform which I did not have so I had to hold the camera as still as possible. Next is the tracking shot, this shot was easy as all I had to do was record and follow a moving object. The handheld shot was simple because I just took a normal video with my hands and moved the camera around a lot. The zoom and reverse zoom were simple as well because I had to use my phone to zoom in and out for the shots. Lastly, the boom shot was harder to achieve because it is like a tilt but also looking down so I had to find a good angle and the stairs was perfect for this shot.

(Right Image) Point of View Shot: This shot gives the audience a view from the characters perspective and makes it seem as if they are watching from their eyes.

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Victoria and I am a sophomore at Cooper City High school. Throughout my life, I've always a big fan of movies and shows and I love watching new shows quickly after they come out. I particularly love new movies because I love the experience of going to the movie theaters and watching a movie with my friends or family. My favorite genre is romantic comedy because of the humorous events in the movies that typically include a happy ending. Other genres I am drawn to are thrillers, documentaries and tragedies. Mindy Kaling is one of my favorite directors, she has quite a few hilarious and entertaining shows like The Office and Never Have I Ever. I think she has directs some outstanding shows especially for teenagers. During this year, I hope to learn about the ins and outs of film and producing and I'd like to become more knowledgeable on what goes on in the industries because I love media and I think everything about it is very interesting.
