The movie I chose to watch was Teen Beach Movie by Disney. The genre of this film is adventure and comedy. The camera angles, shots, movement, and composition really add a lot to this film.
This picture shows a low angle in the scene. This is occurring while the character Mac is surfing a dangerous wave. The low angle adds to the feeling of the scene because it increases the intensity of how dangerous the surfing is. It is giving us a different angle of the action for us to feel more suspense. The camera was positioned below the surfboard underwater and filmed a quick portion of the surf scene.
This picture is during a zoom-in movement. The camera was zooming in closer to the faces of the characters after being told bad news. This allows for us viewers to fully feel the emotions of the characters. The slow zoom adds intensity and suspense.
This photo shows a long shot. The long shot is being used in the introduction to show the setting of the film. It helps us understand more about the film before we are done with it. This was most likely taken with a drone or some kind of elevated structure.
This picture shows an over-the-shoulder shot. This takes place during a conversation and allows us to really see the emotions of Mac's aunt when breaking the bad news to Brady and explaining to him why things have to be that way. It makes the intimacy between characters grow while building tension. It also allows the audience to feel closer to Brady's perspective.
This picture shows deep focus depth of field. The scene focuses on all the chaos that is occurring when Mac and Brady arrive in a new location. It allows us to understand why they are so shocked with this new place. All the props and people in the background are being focused on as well to give more detail about the personalities of the characters. The scene is filmed with a lens that shows a deeper depth of field and brighter lighting.
This photo shows standard focus depth of field. The main focus of this scene is Mac's face and emotions. This allows us to feel more of what she is feeling. This type of focus is done when the lens shows a shallower depth of field. The lighting is also set to not be so bright.
This picture shows a bird's-eye view of Mac's surf scene. This angle of her surfing shows how large the waves are compared to her and her surfboard. It shows the danger of her being in the water. It can also show how powerful she feels during these moments. This was most likely taken with a drone as the movements follow her body.
This picture shows still movement with the camera staying stationary. This is most likely a static shot that captures the characters standing still and having a conversation while the camera is not moving. This allows us to fully listen to what the characters are saying and not think too much about what we see in the scene. It adds a sense of tranquility and intimacy to the film.
