cinematography: blog task

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence. Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. 

Establishing shot was the first shot to show the laboratory and where the scene would take place. The camera was slight shaky to add realism when the scientist is running and was panning to the action. Close ups were used and the scientists face was zoomed in on gradually as the tension built up. Tracking shits were also used to draw the audience in and when the kids are playing D&D the camera is eye level to make the audience feel as if they just walked into the room.

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?

The establishing shot shows the audience the scene takes place in a laboratory.. The close ups on the kids playing D&D shows that they are fooling around and almost brings a false tension to add suspense

3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

In this image, a medium long shot is used. In this image it shows the main character singing in the green dress. Top lighting is used to show that she is the focus and attention to the audience she's performing too. The camera is angled a bit to the top (high angle) to reveal the orchestra behind her.
