Camera movement and editing

 Re-watch the Minority Report chase scene that we analysed in class:

Blog tasks:

1) Pick three aspects of camera movement in the Minority Report clip. Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience.

they used a pan when the guy was reading the newspaper and then then they showed his face to show the effect of how the guy was looking at his face in the paper and then showed his face on the bus to show how he was suspicious of him. They also used a crane shot when the guys where flying the jetpacks to chase the criminal to show how fast they were chasing him they used this because they wanted to show the whole setting of where his id from the train station to the alleyway to the flats and how he constantly moved.  

  

2) Pick two aspects of editing in the Minority Report clip and write about what effect it has on the audience.

they used cut to show how it is constantly changing where he is and how the mood is constantly changing and how the setting is constantly changing in the scene where the man is getting chased .they also use pace to show how fast he is moving during the chase and the director may have used this because he wants to show how he can changed the mood of the scene by just using a character getting chased and him trying to escape the police. 

3) Finally, revise last week's work on camerawork by picking out two shots or camera angles in the clip that communicate meaning to the audience.

 they used a over the shoulder clip on the train when the man was reading the newspaper and the mans face was on the newspaper to show that he was a criminal and the man reading the newspaper knew that he was the man the police were looking for and they were trying to say to the audience that he was a criminal so the audience know why the police are going to chase him later on in the scene. They also used a medium close up on the mans face when he saw the police on the stairs when he got out of train. They might have been trying to communicate  to the audience that he was in shock or worried when he saw the police and they started to chase him. they also used a high angle when the police were flying in the air to maybe say to the audience that the police are weak and the man will escape from them. They also used a low angle when the man was against the fence and then the dog barked at him to show that they are both strong and they will beat the police because they are stronger.
