2. I can tell from the first screenshot used above that the setting is in London
England because St Paul’s cathedral is in the shot and the time period is
around about the late 1800’s, early 1900’s because there are hardly any
electrical appliances outside e.g. street lamps
The cinematography of the camera shows it is a long shot as you can all
the body and shows us where the scenery is set and the camera is low
angled so we get the feeling something is happening on that bridge. The
angling used is zoom because as the man is moving it is steadily moving
toward him.
3. The props indicate that either their will be some sort of murder just
about to happen or there is a pursuit happening and people are being
tracked down.
The cinematography is it’s a close up shot so we can see what this
man is holding and it’s high angled so it exposes what he’s holding
and if he would use it.
4. Judging from what these people are wearing they are police and
the facial expressions show they’re getting prepared for either gun
fire to take place or they’ll have the chance to make an arrest. The
clothes from the guy on the left and helmets the police are wearing
could indicate this is from the late 1800’s, early 1900’s.
The cinematography is a close up shot so we can see what there
discussing or able to read things through there facial expressions
and the angle is eye level which shows you could get a taster of
what there up to.
5. From the what’s been happening this man has thrown open the doors and
preparing to stop an event from occurring or about commit a death or
robbery.
The cinematography shows it’s a medium shot as it gives us good view on
what he’s wearing and shows something that has quickly happened and
the angle is at eye level so it seems as if a witness has watched him throw
open the doors.
6. This gives us a clear view of the scenery from all around us and also tells
which era this was set in.
The cinematography shows it’s an extreme long shot because we’re just
getting a good view of the scenery around us and doesn’t have a focus
on any particular character or anything and is angled at eye level to make
it seem like you’re getting a good view of the land scape.
The camera angling for part of the opening is track as the carriage in
front is moving the camera is steadily moving towards it.
7. In this shot can see that a man is running hard to either get to
somewhere specific or is running away from someone at a very
late night as there is only light coming from a street lamp.
The cinematography shows it’s an extreme close up as it shows
what this man’s doing with his leg, in this case he is running and
it is low angled because it’s looking down at his feet and gives
the feeling that something very fast and epic is happening. The
camera position/angling is track because the man is running the
camera is keeping up to him at the same place.
8. Evaluation
• This will help me to use the many different shots
whenever I’m doing a fast match on action scene
• It will help me when it comes to the right time of
day because whenever you film a specific time of
day and you haven’t finished it you still have to
do it at the same time next time.
• I also understand about scenery and be aware
whether something’s moved whilst the cameras
stopped.
