This worksheet really helped me to identify a lot of the small details of the scene and enhanced my understanding of how different elements of creating it were essential.
Cinematography Evaluation:
Using only visual evidence in the provided sequence respond to the following:
What types of shots are used to convey the intended message in this scene?
|
| different types of shots were used in this scene including; long shots, mid-shots, over-the-shoulder shots, canted, love angle, high angle, wide shot, close-up, birds-eye |
How has framing been used to show or hide information to the audience; refer to specific elements and information.
|
| the things within the frame of the camera are the things that the cinematographer had wanted us to see, AND ALSO the things that are NOT in the frame, are things that the cinematographer didn’t want us to see for eg. James Bond hiding in the room in the beginning of the clip. The main character had been surprised when finding him there so the cinematographer made it that the audience was also surprised when seeing him there for the first time. Also in the flashback scenes when James Bond is murdering the other man, the action of that is happening within the frame so that the audience can clearly see what was going on. |
| Describe how camera position has been used effectively? List some specific shots |
| During the murder, there was a shot when both the murderer and the victim where in the middle of the frame and ALSO the camera was positioned in a way that you could see them through the mirror as well. There was also close-ups of their faces while the character was killing the other (seeing their facial expressions while the murder is happening.) |
| What type of camera movement takes place and how does it enhance or detract from the shot? |
| types of camera movement included were panning and tilting. Panning is ideal for when there is a lot of things, for example on a desk, and the cinematographer wants to capture all of it but not from a distance, so to include all of it, panning across the desk can make sure they get close details of the items and include them all in the one shot. Panning in this scene is used when the man is walking to his office and is scene on the screen walking from left to right and the camera moves to follow him. Tilting movement of a camera in cinematography can help enhance the mood of confusion and a sense of distortion. |
| Does the cinematographer make specific use of underexposure or overexposure to convey a message? |
| throughout most of the scene, the lighting is very underexposed to create a very mysterious and give the audience a feeling that there is something to hide within the darkness. The overexposed scenes are those that are the flashback shots and reveal a previous murder. This is to show every detail of the scene very clearly. |
