Research of Camera and Composition - Credit to Matthew

Whilst I was researching mise-en-scene , Matthew did some research on camera and composition and came up with this information. http://mlevesleyasmediaproductionschs2016.blogspot.co.uk

The cinematography of film noir shows the dark, gritty, and often deceiving visuals are a reflection of the characters, who themselves are dark, gritty, and deceiving. In noir, the cinematography is the main way to tell us about these people and the world they inhabit. As the films were often low-budget, there wasn’t time or money to fund expensive camerawork.
Camera Techniques that are conventional and will be used in our production:
  • High Angle
  • Focus Pull
  • Tracking
  • Mid shot
  • Over the Shoulder shot
  • Close up
  • Distorted angles
  • Characters and cameras positioned to clearly display shadows




Here are some examples of camera and composition that is conventional for a Film Noir; they will also feature in our production.



With this post that Matthew created, i think it is good and well written and helps us out with our production to show us what camera angles are what, however, i think he needs to add more information about the pictures and add more pictures.
