In this workshop with Fergus and Mike, we took out all the equipment and the objective of the workshop was to see how much emphasis and emotion can be brought about with the use of camera movement.
Pieces of equipment used:
Track
Jib
Fig Rig
Handheld
Attempted shots:
Contrazoom
Tracking
Tilt up
(Camera workshop edit)
I created this short sequence with some of the footage that was curated during the workshop. We tried every kind of shot, utilizing all of the apparatus that was on offer. I personally struggled with the contrazoom shot the most though, I found the challenge of having to focus and zoom out whilst pushing it on the track, hard to master.
What I felt came out okay-ish was the jib shot, and a small tracking shot. I liked the fluidity the track shot can give, an emphasis on the character that could be derived from it if it was placed in a particular scenario of a narrative. It also obviously gives an extremely professional feel to it on a production level, which would add more to a narrative in every aspect.
Overall it was a productive workshop with many things being taken away and already applied to my own project in respect to my thought process/cognitions of my own poem adaptation.
