Stanley Kubrick Steadicam and Symmetry

The Chimney Sweep and The Miller

Back when this short film was made, their technology was limited. Due to this, the camera angles and distanced will be simple, and won’t change. This is because cameras weren’t portable back then, when a camera was built it would have been set up in a certain place and would stay there. That’s why this short film is all filmed using an eye level camera angle, because it’s level with the horizon and easier to set up. The camera distance is also the same, it’s set up as an extra-long short, in order to allow the actors room to move around and fight from one side of the screen to the other.

If this were to be filmed today, I feel like the camera angles would change. Instead of keeping the same Eye Level shot throughout, I would change it every couple second, perhaps using a canted camera angle to show that the miller is mad when he gets knocked by the Chimney Sweep. And then a Worms eye shot to show that one of the characters is more powerful than the other. As well as that, I would implement some camera movements, perhaps following the miller as he walks towards the chimney sweep, and then panning left to towards him. The camera distances would differ as well, going from a close to show the emotion of the characters, to a medium shot when the action is happening.

In the film Deadpool 2, the main character Deadpool is able to break the 4th wall throughout the film. usually in films, this is used to either give extra context to the audience with complicated events in the film, r it’s used for comedic effect. In this film, it’s used mostly for comedy, but also sometimes used to give context about Deadpools past and his feelings about whats happened. For example, he breaks the fourth wall in order to tell the audience how he got his powers, but he mostly uses it to tell the audience a joke or talk about another character in a comedic way.

In Cloverfield, they use an Inter-Digetic Perspective throughout the whole film. This is used to give the audience a new perspective, like they’re one of the characters in the film. It also gives us less information about the film, leaving us to guess more. Stuff like not knowing so much about the monster, or what other characters are thinking. you only know as much s the character does.

a Digetic is used in point of the film of Johnny English. Throughout most of the film this film is a comedy, but there are point where things became serious, and in those moments the Cinematographer has used a Digetic perspective to get that across.
