Both camera angles and camera distances allow for and create different film image perspectives, meanings, and effects. The camera angle of a film shot can be defined as the perspective that the viewer sees, while the camera distance, a.k.a. camera framing, of a film shot can be defined as how far away the video camera is from the subject or object as seen and measured from the front of the frame image. In order to describe the measurements and determine the camera distance for each film shot, the
the film “Gattaca”, the director Andrew Niccole has used the film technique: camera angles to represent the theme of the film. The definition of camera angles is the position of the camera to allow the viewer to understand the relationships between the characters. I found this definition by searching on the internet and comparing the definition in the dictionary. The way that the director has manipulated the camera angle to represent the theme is more unique than I have ever seen in any other movie
audience under a spell from the ongoing theme of contrasting reality and fantasy. Tim Burton uses camera angles, non- diegetic sound, and lighting, as gates for the audience to enter the eyes of his view on life.

Burton approaches this act through low and high angles in his film Big Fish. For example, during a conversation between characters Edward Bloom and Karl
A studious young man, an open book these two images swirl around the screen in a kaleidoscope effect, this was the introductory scene of "Good Will Hunting." This scene is followed by Ben Afflick, knocking on Will's door, when Will comes out a credit rolls by that says, "screenplay written by Ben Afflick and Matt Damon," just as the two walk side by side. This shows how perfectly the makers of this movie have everything timed, down to the credits. Also, the timing shows when the professor's assistant
boundaries of what could be shown in mainstream cinema. The rules implemented by The Hays Office were far stricter than they are today, and Hitchcock uses all available means to reach and go slightly beyond the set limit. Using clever and different camera angles, he implies things that are not shown. He proves that innuendoes can portray the same image and retract the same audience responses as blatant actions and pictures. In most films, 'good' would triumph over 'evil,' and whatever side a character

six minutes help set up a distinct stylistic premise. In contrast to a novel or play, the sequence in Don’t Look Now is only accessible through cinema because it allows the viewer to interact with the medium and follow along with the different camera angles. The cinematography and music also guide the viewer along, and help project the characters’ emotions onto the audience because they change frequently.

was washing off more sins than dirt. Alfred Hitchcock had the ability to make such minute details like this deeply symbolic in the film Psycho. He was mostly able to do this due to his artistic and award-winning use of camera angles. Through the use of such articulate camera angles, Hitchcock was able to make the viewer feel extra comfortable or extra uncomfortable, depending on the scene. However, I have learned that composing such a beautiful film is not so easy. The process can be very time consuming

Rear Window is an entertaining movie using voyeurism as a story element. For me it has a double meaning; first like the rear view mirror in a car one is always looking in it to see out of the rear window, at who or what is behind us, looking over our shoulder. The concept of ‘Looking over your shoulder’, brings to mind a paranoia of being followed or watched. The second is meaning of the movie’s title is more apparent in that the rear windows of the visible apartments share a common view of a
Watching Televised Sport The answer is all of these reasons, and others, which I will explore in more detail throughout this essay. To do this successfully I am going to focus on three sports, which I intend to compare and analyse. These are: The London Marathon, The Brazilian Grand Prix and The Champion's League semi-final between Manchester United and Real Madrid. I have chosen these sports because they are each different; The London Marathon is an individual sport, which covers a large
by utilizing a range of camera angles, a mixture of sounds, and a variety of lighting techniques. Throughout the entire movie, the types of camera angles created many significant and traumatic impressions. For example, at the beginning of the film, there is a high angle shot looking over the bloody beach filled with American soldiers who sacrificed their lives on D-Day. The high angle, at this point of the film, portrayed the American Army as defenseless and weak. The angle also gave the audience

aspects such as framing, colour and reflections to provide links to greater ideas within the film. Specific camera angles and framing are techniques used frequently throughout the film. A number of scenes have been shot from a high angle looking down at the action. These shots can feel like they are alienating the action and characters within the scene. This style of shot mimics Security cameras and the type of footage they record. Examples of this can be found periodically throughout the film, be found

In the beginning of the film, the pictures of the city were in black and white and dull shades, giving the city a gloomy look. The camera angles made the cars in the city appear tiny, and the buildings appear very large to symbolize how small everything was amongst the city. The interiors of the office buildings and the panic symbolized that there was no way out. The soundtrack of the film
