 Camerawork Storyboard Analysis

Section 5 of the part A mid-term is centralized on the camerawork of our movie, Black Widow. Where my teammate, Jonathan Spence, had to identify all the different camera shot sizes, camera framing, and camera angles. He then had to find eight frames in the movie, identify the camera shot size, framing, angle of it and convey the meaning behind the shot.

The key information I learned in this section are the different camera shot sizes, camera framing, and camera angles. For instance, there are nine camera shot sizes that film makers use such as the cowboy shot and establishing shot in a movie. Camera framing also includes nine different frames such as a single shot and point of view shot. Lastly, I learned that there are various camera angles used in a film like the eye level angle and knee level angle. Any other information pertaining to this section is below.
