Film Techniques: angles and shots

PAN
It is used to track movement along a horizontal surface capturing the location without needing to have a wide angle lens.  Panning creates the feeling of motion and speed without blurring the image to establish a scene. This type of camera movement can make the audience feel more involved with the film.


CRAB SHOT
Allows the audience to follow the movement of the character or object at a constant distance from the action.

EXTREME CLOSE-UP
This is used to focus on an individual character alone to focus on their facial expressions in the moment of the situation of the scene. The audience can get a closer interpretation of the character's feelings which is trying to be conveyed.



TRACK
Where the camera moves alongside with an object or person.

CRANE UP
The camera is on a platform attached to the mechanical arm which allows the camera to move around in any direction as well as up and down to various heights.

DUTCH ANGLE
Also known as titling the camera at a certain degree which can be used for dramatic effect and helps portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate actions in a scene.


CUT
Helps transition between scenes and different camera shots to make filming quite realistic by having different point of views making the movie more dynamic.

Analysis on magazines(Dazed)

Image
They tend to cover topics on music, fashion, art and culture. They take on more artistic and aesthetic approaches to fashion featuring high end designers . In majority of their magazines featuring females,  models do not wear make up to enhance or glorify their feminine features, but instead strengthen those features to make them more masculine or keep it neutral to embrace their natural beauty. This breaks the conventions of stereotypes on gender where females can be presented as masculine allowing audiences to be more open minded and appreciate the artist values of the magazine.

Beyonce's "Run the World"- Analysis

Beyoncé is seen as a multi-platinum iconic star who encourages empowerment of feminism through her music videos, one of them being "Run the World". Majority of the western society considers this music video to preach out to women of this era to break through the stereotype by  empowering women to show that she can hold the same amount of authority as a man. There are a lot of symbolism used throughout the music video such as an apocalyptic setting which illustrates war between men and women that's been going on for years in a patriarchal society. But this is the time and era where women will conquer men starting a new revolution for the 21st century. Referring to her lyrics "who run the world... girls", war is seen as a state of masculinity but Beyoncé moves away from that and based on the way her and the other women are represented, its as though they have already claimed their authority. It is quite ironic to see the men dressed up in armors and using shield

Music Video Ideas- Initial Plan

NEA- research and planning from Isha Bhatt *(Edit) during the waltz scene, the devil will not be revealed at all, with this I want to enforce the connotations of the devil such as deceiving, dark and enigmatic. Also, the role will be played by a female actor as the devil is a representation of her inner darkness. This would also break the conventions of traditional waltz dancing of a man and woman as partners. It would empathize the personal conflict that Juliet has with her self.    * There will be shots/ scenes involving Juliet going through maniac and depressive episodes in order to represent  the visible struggles of bipolar disorder. For example; not being able to get out of bed, staring at the mirror, dancing around in bliss, books and sheets scattered around with writing intensively. * A circling camera shot rotating around actor to draw attention to the artist. Also a zoom in/or out shot of Juliet which can portray how the audience is drawing into her and how she is
