Camera Movement


La La Land (2016)

In the scene below of La La Land, a camera movement called whip pan was used, which is defined as a  fastly moved pan. The motivation between this camera movement is to give contrast between the two main characters.

I believe a camera dolly was used for this scene only because of it's smooth transition from a high angle to moving closer to the objects face. The motivation used for this movement is to focus (give the audience's attention) on the subject.



Spectre (2015)

This film would have to be one of my favorite action films of all time. For this scene, they used numerous tracking shot. By this, the camera is physically moving from the side to track the movement and action of the subjects.

2018 DP Reel Spring 2018 REEL from Kristin Whitely on Vimeo . Artist Statement Growing up, I always had a passion for film, but I didn’t know of anyone who made it a career. It was discouraging to want to do something, but not being able to talk to someone about it. I took a leap of faith. I knew the only thing that would make me happy is to chase my dreams of being a cinematographer one day. So I did, and I’m beyond blessed that God put me here at UA to start my journey.
