Camera Movement.


"The Dolly Shot."
I thought this video showed pretty cool examples of the dolly shot. It is a collection of unique dolly shot techniques that Spike Lee has used in his films. There is one at the 2 minute marker that is actually really cool and "trippy". I like the way that Spike Lee uses the dolly for movement in his films. Watching this made me feel as if I was moving also with the characters in each clip. 

"Jib Shot (The Movie)"
This next example is of a jib shot, it comes from "Jib Shot (The Movie)" which was featured in Campus Movie Fest. Directed by Georgia State Students, I thought that using a jib shot to open their movie was pretty neat.

Tracking Shot
Clip is from Kill Bill. This tracking shot is almost 2 minutes long and captures the shot from all different angles. 

Crane Shot
This crane shot comes from the opening scene in  Orson Welles' 1958 film "A Touch of Evil'. It is recognize as one of the most notable scenes in film history. 

The camera movement in each example was pretty smooth. I liked how the Jib Shot example and crane shot examples are both used to open both films. The Dolly shot video is also neat, the use of different clips from Spike Lee films connect together in a strange way to create a narrative of it's own.
