Camera Movements and Emotion
In films emotion can be conveyed in many ways, color, lighting, setting, but also through the movement of a camera. Filmmakers will intentionally move the camera in specific ways to give the viewer an idea of the feeling that the scene is conveying.
Crane down: Filmmakers will mount the camera on a crane, lowering it from the crane gives the feeling of being thrown into a new scene and setting
Crane up:A camera moving up on a crane gives shows us how small the character really is compared to his surroundings and obstacles he has to overcome.
Crane High to Low: When a camera is taken from a very high to a very low camera angle it makes the character look strong and opposing and gives us a feeling of authority from the character.
Handheld camera movement: Handheld movement is less smooth than movement on a crane and gives a feeling of unease and danger.
Quick Pan: Is used to reveal something that we had been unaware of and totally change the direction of the scene.
Quick Push In: Creates a feeling of surprise and shock
Slow Camera Dolly: Makes the Viewer share and understand the emotion that the character is facing or feel uncomfortable for them
Slow Dolly Out: Creates the feeling that the character has been abandoned or lost.
Dolly Across: Shows action and changes the emotion in the scene
Glidecam Camera: Creates an epic dreamlike feeling in an intense scene
Glidecam 360 reveal: Shows a surveying of the area that gives the feeling that something big is about to happen.
Zolly: Creates an overwhelming emotional feeling.
