Abstract:
Camera movement describes the purposeful change of a motion picture camera’s physical position during recording and has been a filmmaking technique since the early beginnings of motion pictures. Camera movement can be merely functional when it adjusts the camera frame to the moving subject, but camera movement can also be a subjective, interpretive device by the filmmaker to carry and assist the narrative story: “[T]he moving camera, the actual design of the shot, can, in some cases, play a more significant role in building drama and emotion than any other element of a scene” (Reilly 140).
Abstract:
This thesis paper provides an overview of the history of camera movement and describes the application of various camera movement and shot design techniques in Madly Unto Eternity―my thesis film as director of photography and Steadicam operator.
