The significance of camera movement in the planning of a film is to be able to grab the audience attention in many ways. Also shifting the audience view without cutting, which can create emotional effect.  All in all, to tell the story of the film better. There are many different types of camera movement such as zoom, trucking, tilt, push in, etc. Two effects camera movement can have on its audience is emotional and psychological. Like the feeling of being involved. In this assignment, the goal is understanding the techniques and how it plays a part.

The objective was to make a PowerPoint organizer that defines the twelve camera movement strategies used in movies. The media product that me and my team used were a PowerPoint, which I would say we are all an intermediate at. My team and I split the work up evenly.

Preliminary Exercise 8: Practicing Camerawork: Shot Sizes, Camera Angles, Framing, and Camera Composition Day 1

Camera movements is the photography produced by a camera and especially a motion-picture, video, or television camera. Camerawork is important in film production because it shift the audience's view without cutting, it creates a psychological and emotional effect on the audience and so much more. The four major categories that I consider when planning my camera shots were shot size, camera angles, framing, and composition. Shot size are the size of the frame relative to the figures or objects in the frame, like a full shot. Camera angle refers to the placement of the camera and the direction which the camera is looking at, like eye level. Framing is the presentation of visual elements in an image, like two shots. Composition is the art of arranging objects, actors and space within the frame, like deep focus. The person that is responsible for camerawork on a film's production camera operator. An example of a famous camera operator is Bradford Young Bradford Young. He has an Academy Award for Best Cinematography and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Two of his films are Solo: A Star Wars Story and Arrival. Me and my team have to develop camerawork skills to create our film to be able to create shots just like a professional camera operator.

Eunice was the director and camera person. Dakota and I were the actors. We were all set designers. The Location of the film is at Piper high school. The characters are Kira and Dakota. The storyline is two very close friends in high school. I would say the planning was very easy but what made it difficult was being able to find the right time to be able to execute the shots. The technology that was used with a mobile telephone and the app that was used was YouTube. Which I would say we were in intermediate at. During this exercise I learned how to execute camera movement and the process and planning that goes into it.
