[VVP/Teens] Cinematography Workshop
Last class we learned a lot! We had a cinematography workshop where we watched clips from movies that had interesting camera angles or colors or styles. We learned that the colors and lighting of scenes can affect the mood, while speeding up and slowing down scenes can cause dramatization or draw attention on objects. We learned about different camera angles that cause different effects like in "Do The Right Thing" the camera angles looking up at someone and looking down on someone gives you the feel of respect and a sort of looking down on a person literally and figuratively. Each clip had a specific style that was important. For example, Amelie used lighting and color to bring out moods. The shining used the camera angle at a low point so that it gives you the point of view of a helpless child. Psycho used the camera to stay at a certain point while things happen off screen to cause a sense of foreboding and The Untouchables used slow motion to cause dramatization in which the baby carriage fell in slow motion. All the clips were very interesting and gave me a lot of ideas for my groups PSA.
