Photographic elements Outline of Current Lecture VII. Photographic elements VIII. More photographic elements IX. The long take X. Mise-en-sceneCurrent LectureA) Photographic elements 1) track/dolly/push-in - track-usually goes side to side - track/dolly/push-in are all a physical movement of the camera 2) Zoom- The camera doesn’t actually move, it’s a magnification Examples: Master Killer (Liu)-we see an example of zoom Jaws (Spielberg)-retrograde zoom, there’s a scene in the film where we see pushing in while the lens is zooming out 3) Rack focus- The director changes the focus of the shot - Example: Talk to her (Almodovar 2002)-we see a person in focus in the background then the focus shifts to the foreground4) Colors - Example: The umbrellas of Cherbourg (Demy)-we see extremely bright colors throughout the film- Example: Dancer in the dark (Von Trier)-we see muted dark colors throughoutthe movie that go along with the pessimism of the film These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
