LOW ANGLE SHOT

A low angle and a high angle shot is used in Scrubs. When the camera faces to the man a high angle shot is used to make him look less powering or important because when the camera is used on the lady there is a low angle shot which shows thats she is more important than the man. This is a good way to show the status of people by using these different types of shots.

WORM'S EYE VIEW

This is an example of a worm's eye view because we are seeing the shot shot as if it was coming towards us. A worm's-eye view is a view of an object from below, as though the observer were a worm; the opposite of a bird's-eye view.

CRANE SHOT

This is an example of the crane shot. The camera starts very high and then gradually gets lower and this is done by the camera being positioned on a cran to get a high angle shot. A crane shot is commonly used to view actors from above which is also called a birds eye view to move up and away from them, or used for the ending of a film.

CRASH ZOOM SHOT

Although this is not a very nice zoom shot as it is a shot of the twin towers burning down, this is a crash zoom out because when you watch this shot it is zoomed in on the tower the all of a sudden very quickly zooms right out to the wide shot.

REVERSE TRACKING SHOT

This is an example of a reverse tracking shot. As you can see the background looks like its moving and the people in the foreground stay the size size this shot is done by the camera doing a tracking shot but instead of moving left or right on the track it will move forward and backwards on the subject.

WHIP PAN

This is an example of a whip pan. When you watch the video the camera is focus on 2 people then all of a sudden the camera spins around to catch someone walking through the gate. Whip pan is a type of pan shot in which the camera moves sideways so quickly that the picture blurs into indistinct streaks.

TRACKING SHOT

This is an example of a tracking shot in Kill Bill. The camera in this shot moves on wheels as you can tell because it is very steady. A tracking shot is also a camera that is mounted on a wheeled platform thats is pushed on rails while the shot is being filmed. The tracking shot can include smooth movements forward, backward, along the side of the subject, or on a curve.

PANNING SHOT

This is a wide panning shot of the sea. A panning shot is when the camera stays in the same position but pivots left and right to film for instance a fast car speeding past or the this case the sea and everything around it. The panning shot is used to suggest fats motion and bring out the subject from elements in the frame. Slow panning is also combined with zooming in or out on a single subject.

Sherlock Holmes Film Review

I think this film has a very good story to it and is probably one of the best films I have seen in a long time. It had all the things a good film needs for example drama and action, without it being turned into a cheesy romance between the 2 main characters.

It is not my type of movie but I like the fact that it is quite exciting and starts to make you think more like a dective.

My best scene in the film was when Irene was on the pig shredder as I was on the edge of my seat as it wasn't clear before if she was going to be killed. Also another scene is the fight scene, because it is full of action and fast paced.

Over all I thought Sherlock Holmes was a very interesting and mysterious film.  I think Jude Law plays a really good character in the film because we don’t know whether he is playing the good or bad guy until the end which is why it is mysterious.
