camera movements September 30, 2020 Emily Rodrigues Leave a comment In Goodfellas, tracking is used as an introduction to the scene. in this famous scene its used to show the audience who Henry is with and to introduce the environment and the characters at the same time. this is done so the audience can focus on the whole shot at the same time instead of looking at different things that are happening in the shot. a steady cam shot is used in the shinning to make the audience feel uneasy. Due to the camera angle and the camera movement of the shaky camera, it makes it seem like were seeing someone else’s perspective and due to what we know about the hotel, it implies that it could be something paranormal following him which creates tension and makes us uncomfortable because we cant help Danny. A dolly zoom is used here to make us focus on the characters reaction and bring attention to it to make us aware of how they feel and sometimes bring us the same emotion such as fear.
