Give a brief 1 minute presentation proposing your research idea and process.
Experiment
I choose mobility as my key camera parameter in this experiment.
Questions:
- How much impact does movement have on a scene?
- How does the dance with the camera change the result or emotional resonance of a scene?
- How much infuence does a cinematographers intutive response when filming a scene count?
- Tripod v gimbal v handheld v mononpod v camera taped to random objects v etc.
Method
- Shoot the same controlled scene (could be still life, stagnant space, dialogue between two actors, random persons on street) and shoot it with different camera movements.
- Observe what impact does it have. How does it alter the message? What is added and taken away.
