Camera Movement is designed to deliver energy and emotion to your storytelling vision! Learn about camera placement for lighting, blocking, matching, and transition shots. Through a variety of in-depth tutorials and practical techniques, Shane Hurlbut, ASC helps you understand the how, why, and when of camera movement.
It often takes a team to move the camera in a way that creates, for example, foreshadowing or a reveal. Go behind the scenes for a closer look at the equipment and judgment Shane and his team use for mounting cameras while using dollies, cranes, drones, and the MoVi.
Shane demonstrates blocking, coverage, continuity, transitions, seamless shots, POV shots, camera placement, and lighting for movement.
Understanding motivation and using camera motion as a tool in storytelling is very powerful.
Camera Dynamics was constructed in a way to give you an understanding of the use of movement and how it evokes and supports character emotion. As the course progresses, we take a deeper look at the tools Shane applied for the motivation behind camera movement, followed by a detailed analysis of how he used camera dynamics in many of his films.
