Camera Movement - Week 7


This short clip from Friends does not include much camera movement what so ever. The camera mostly cuts back and forth between stationary actors. I found the camera most often moves when characters are leaving the scene for example when Phoebe storms out in frustration the camera pans out and follows her to the door in order for viewers to see what is happening. Phoebe herself is moving in order to advance the plot which then moves to Joeys audition. Again there is not much movement in the camera as all actors are stationary however at the 3 minute mark when the director gets frustrated with Joeys and states he is leaving we then see the camera pan out yet again. In this clip the camera movement is mostly centred around when individuals are walking out of the scene, other wise it is simple cuts between characters. I believe this may be because this is a sitcom and does not call for ground breaking cinematography.
