Camera movement and equipment

This video explains and shows some ways in which the camera moves - and why - and what equipment is needed to make it do this effectively. Due to our low budget on the film it is unlikely that we will be able to make/buy/use some of the equipment mentioned but we could try to recreate the action in order to cause a similar effect on the audience. In our opening two minutes we are going to experiment with a variety of different shots, all fitting in with those used in many horrors. Shots will vary from Long shots, Close ups, Extreme close ups and POV shots. By using a variety of shot types we hope to create the feeling that the audiance is actually in the forrest with our characters. We are then going to use a range of different camera movements to see which ones suit that shot best, whether thats tracking, panning or still shots, as each will create a different effect.
