  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. •   Fast pan - Horizontal turn left to right fast and is used to follow fast movement. This was used when the character was running away from the police in the alley ways. the camera was on the floor (a bit like a worm's eye) •    Fast Track/Dolly - Movement either backwards or forward or along the side. This was used after the Fast Pan in the chase scene, the camera was moving as fast as the character (tracking the speed) and was going from right to left sideways. •    Zoom - Zooming in or out either with the camera moving forward or it is actually zooming in using the feature - this was used during some conversations between the police the person who they were chasing. It was also used when sho...

  1) Pick  three  camera   shots  from the Doctor Who scene and explain what type of shot it is and what meanings or effect they have on the audience. •  The opening establishing shot clearly shows the characters getting off a boat and walking into the restaurant. This both sets the scene for the following action and also confirms the characters are very rich. •  The extreme close-up on the main character's eye at 0.52 successfully communicates the intensity of the scene and the mixture of fear and emotion he feels as he watches his son being kidnapped. This effect causes the audience to sympathise with the main character and wonder what will happen to the boy after being taken. •  The  over - the - shoulder   shot   shows the main character recognises the man who saved the boy and that the man with the face injuries is not who he says he is. It is also a  medium close- up  which allows the audience to ...

  1) Choose   THREE  aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for   each  about the   denotation  and  connotation  and what is communicated to the audience. For example:  Costume: The character at the start is wearing a white lab coat. This suggests to the audience that the person is a scientist and is probably running away from a failed science experiment such as a creature that might be turned into a monster because of the failure. Another example is when after the lab chase scene, there are kids with casual clothing playing a board game. This shows the audience the character's personality, what they like to wear and how they would like to look when they are with their friends. Lighting: The lighting of the scene was all dark, gloomy and scary. This makes the scene more dramatically scary for the audience as it makes them feel more mystery in the scene as they would be uncertain of what...
