Camera Techniques

                   


For this shot we used the merry go round again. This shot turned out really good and has a really nice effect to it. I think we could use this shot to reflect some form of mental state in a character much like the "Kuloshev Effect"  The aperture was f/22 the shutter speed was around 1/30 because the back ground is blurred. we used a tripod on the merry go round with the cannon 5d camera. This shot is new wave because it was an innovative camera movement because we used the merry go round.

Health & Safety

There were a couple of things we ad to be very careful with for this shot. The first of which was making sure we didn't spin the merry go round to fast as Will could have lost balance and fallen off and hurt himself. We also had to be very careful of keeping the camera steady as the tripod could have fell off and hit some one.

New Wave

This shot is new wave because we didn't use a classic camera technique, we made our own just like the new wave film maker Truffaut created new ways to film. This was most effective in his film 400 Blows that has a really long tracking shot of the protagonist running at the end. This long take shot changed cinema which is what new wave does and this seperated it from the main stream. We took influence from such directors and tried to come up with different filming techniques as our brief stated to distinguish stylistic features.
