Abstract:
"This thesis explores the overall topic of camera movement, but specifically how camera movement and narrative motivation correlate with each other. Individual paradigms have been created overtime in regards to this topic. The intention of this thesis is to prove the link between dolly movement and optimal view motivation, handheld movement and camera performance motivation and free-range movement and virtuosity of transport motivation. This paper explores those patterns through the analysis of films to prove that camera movement plays a large part in adapting a storytelling perspective."
