One of the movies that I think of with really great camera movement is one of my favorite movies ATL. For people who don't know it's a classic Black Film directed by Chris Robinson. I feel like anyone would enjoy it so I would definitely recommend everyone checking it out. Throughout the film there are a lot of skating scenes. They made the tracking of the skaters really interesting because they were moving so fast it would seem like you're skating with them. At some moments the camera man was even on skates. I couldn't find the scene I wanted but this one gives you an idea.

 

Another movie that has great camera movement is yet another skating movie called Roll Bounce. I know, I know I'm obsessed. Which is ironic because I can''t skate a lick, but they're such great stories I can't resist. I'm not quite sure what equipment they used it looks like they may have used a dolly tracker in some parts.



It wouldn't be a real discussion about camera movement if I didn't throw an action movie in there. One of my favorite franchises happens to have great camera movement throughout all of their action movies. This is none other than Fast & Furious franchise. The one we're particularly focusing on today is Fast 7. I was able to find a great video detailing their camera movement techniques on Youtube, They use an array of tools to achieve these shots from dollys to cranes. Ignore the Usher music playing in the background.

Reel and Artist Statement

Jamaica Hines Reel from Jamaica Hines on Vimeo . Over the course of this semester I can honestly sayI have learned ALOT about myself as an artist all around. I always knew that I wasn't conventional or cookie cutter and never will be, but now I know that's what makes me so unique. Since I was a child I always knew I was going to be in the entertainment industry in some form. As I grew older and got into things I was passionate about I realized that I wanted to learn about my passions at every aspect. That's why I got behind the camera more instead of in front so I can try to master it. I know I'm not the best videographer or director or producer or editor but I am one of the best artists on this planet. My work may not show it yet but it will soon.   I like when things are a little out of focus, I like when the camera is a bit shaky, I like imperfections. I see the beauty in imperfection and that will get me a lot further in life than trying to make everything s...

Blog Post #6: Shot by Shot scene analysis: Carrie (1976)

Carrie is one of my favorite thriller movies of all time, the 1976 version at least. The others ones don't even do the first one justice. I chose this scene because I feel like it is one of the best to show visual storytelling because there is absolutely no dialogue. Everything about the portion of the scene is being told through visuals. From lighting to to the actors’ movement its all setting the tone and building suspense for what is about to happen. It was very effective to only utilize the music and visuals to lead up to the cow blood being poured on Carrie. Also, using the sound from the dangling bucket and dripping blood was also very clever. Carrie may be ostracized and bullied by her peers but she also possesses telekinetic powers. When the popular clique play a sick prank on her at the prom, she unleashes her power to a devastating effect. It was very effective to only utilize the music and visuals to lead up to the cow blood being poured on Carrie. Also, using the ...
