Camerawork and Editing

-


1) Pick three camera shots from the scene and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience.

The medium close up shot at 1:24 clearly shows the character, who seems like the leader of the mission to find the doctor and this allows us to know the mission is very important. The prime minister is serious and motivated about this by the look on her face. Plus she is ready to give her life up for this mission connotes this mission isn't to be taken lightly.

The over the shoulder shot at 2:18 implies that they all are a team and after the same goal which is to find the doctor so he can save the earth from this disaster. This also connotes that the doctor is very important.

Finally the two shot and close up shot show the couple is judging the prime ministers decision and disagree with her by the looks on their faces.


2) Pick one camera angle that is used in the scene and explain the effect it has on the audience

At 3:28 the high angle used in that scene may shows the machine is very powerful which also implies that the doctor is very powerful as they need so much energy to bring him back to earth to save everyone.

3) Pick one aspect of camera movement in the 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.

At 2:44 the whip pan shows the audience that the people in the scene may be in huge crisis as they are doing everything to get the doctor here rapidly. Furthermore, the doctor must be very strong as the is the only person who can save the earth that is why they are trying desperately do anything they can in their power to get him back and help them.

4) Pick one aspect of editing in the clip and write about what it tells the audience.

    At 0:30-0:42 it uses cut and many times through out the video. This shows us they are all companions as they are working together to get the doctor back and they all have a special role in this. Also this is trying to build tension and panic up slowly so the audience feel restless about what is going on.
