Chase Scene

Reflection:
Camera movements are used to evoke various emotions from the audience. Difference in camera movements from scene to scene can change the entire mood of the film. For instance, if panning movements are used to capture the size of a room, then the room seems larger than compared to a still shot of a room. If a dolly is used to move a camera from left to right to show two people looking at each other, it would be more emotionally appealing rather than a normal two shot.

Camera angles also play a huge part in filmmaking. Camera angles gives different perspectives on the situation in a film as opposed to one perspective from a handheld camera that is only focused on one object. For example, a long shot shows the actor's entire body as opposed to just his upper half. The deep focus shot keeps the foreground, middle ground and background all in sharp focus.

Successes/Recommendations: I think that my group did a good job with camera angles and capturing the plot line, a chase scene. I think we could've done better with dolly movements, as they were a little choppy.
