Insidious clip

Here is our version of the Insidious clip. We tried to include every shot and movement in our clip, especially the movement at around 10 seconds. This camera movement was achieved by Katie on a wheely chair, zooming out whilst being pushed forward by Joel to create an unsettling effect. Another example of this camera movement is in Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg.                                                                      

We had some difficulties whilst filming, especially to get all the different shot right. What we found we needed to improve was our storyboarding as we had to refer to the clip, whereas we should've been able to rely on our storyboards.

Practicing Camera Work

Quite a while ago we had a task to re-create a film clip, focusing of getting the right camera shots and movement. Our group decided to re-create the ending clip from Insidious. Here's the clip-

 

We created storyboards for this scene-

 In my next post I will upload our version of the clip :)

 



Camera Movement

A couple of days ago, in class we looked at different type of camera movements. They range from the pan movement, which is where the camera moves horizontally from left to right, to the tilt movement, which is where you move the camera angle vertically. 

My Analysis

During this clip from Remember Me (2010) starring Robert Pattinson and Pierce Brosnan there are some different camera movements. The first is a pan right so the audience can see who is entering the door. The effect of sweeping the camera this way means that everybody's eyes are focused on Caroline (Ruby Jerins) entering the room, showing she is going to be a important part of the clip.
 At around 0.15 seconds the camera peds down. The pedestal shot is where the camera moves up or down vertically. The effect of this is that our eyes follow Tyler (Pattinson) down, so we can see how every other person in the class is starring as Caroline, telling us that an event has possibly happened between Caroline and the other girls.
At 0.45 seconds and onwards the camera crabs left to right following Tyler and his actions. This is effective as the audience really gets his swaying emotions as we are following him, also it makes it feel as though you are actually in the scene, as the eyes of one of the girls watching him.

Here's the clip-
