Motivating Camera Movement- The Dolly
The purpose of this assignment is to
create, explore, and discover new methods of shooting while moving the
camera. Camera movement motivation is
all about developing a purpose for the audience to look where the director
wants them. Beyond simply following
moving objects around in the frame, movement is motivated by the information
that is necessary to convey the meaning of the shot.
Perform 12 dolly shots for this
assignment.
6 of these shots must experiment with
the walk and talk.
3 of these shots must experiment with
the ZOLLY shot.
