(Preliminary Exercise) Introduction to Camerawork Warm-Up Exercise 1

Camerawork is  the way in which cameras are used to film/ broadcast movies and films.Three reasons why camera work is significant in filming a movie is that it adds a sense of forward momentum, it can change your viewers perspective on a scene, and it creates a vibe and add peace and engird to the film. Cinematography is the art and or motion of pictures, the person who is responsible for cinematography on set is the director of photography. Some award wining photography directors are Steven Soderbergh whom played a huge part in developing the the movie KIMI and Roger Deakins who helped to create Sicario. 

    

 The two main key concepts that we learned are camera shots and camera angles. Camera shots are the specific location at which the movie camera or video camera is placed to take a shot. A Camera angle is a continuous view through a single camera without interruption. We were introduced to the topic by two educational video that showed us the shots and we had to draw a picture them and take notes on it. The information that I document was easier ways for me to memorize the angle and shot names which are an establishing shot, a Master shot, a Wide shot, a Full shot, aMedium shot, A cowboy shot, A medium close up, a close up, and and extreme close up. The angles that we were introduced to are Low angle, High angle, Dutch angle, a overhead shot, Eye level, Hip level, Knee level, and ground level. The information that I found most interesting was how the angles can change the perspective an d how you see a scene.Three adjectives that I would utilize to describe the concepts are unique, interesting, and entertaining. Some jobs that are associated with camerawork are the Director, the Producer, the Executive Producer,he Principal Cast.,the Casting Director,  the AD Department, the Art Department, the Camera Department.
