Inspirations
I like the beginning of this piece. The ambiance and drone panning, introducing the situational context and the video's main character.
In this movie clip from Sherlock Holmes, I likes two aspects from the scene. The horizontal panning, keeping the subject in the centre of frame. I also liked the slow motion effects that showed the bullets moving in real time. Now the scene is a lot more action packed and production costs would have been through the roof but it inspires me how the shots were taken and their use of slow motion.
This scene from Harry Potter uses drone shots to shows the scale and terrain more and moves at the opposite direction to the characters to make it seem like they're moving faster. Shaken camera close ups to make it feel like you're running with the characters.
In this Blaire Witch scene, the camera is on the box which adds to the pressure and feeling of the character. It also gives a nice realistic touch and makes you feel like you're there with her.
In a lot of ways this chase scene in the Joker was a typical American city chase scene but the subtle camera movement caught my eye. The camera often used its surroundings to cut to the next shot for its transitions.
I do want to mention that I get a lot of inspiration from the Netflix movie, BirdBox. Although the antagonist is never shown on film, they are able to use that fear of unknown as the catalyst of fear in the movie. Looking through the blindfold was a nice touch I found.
