3 Types of Movement:

Object Movement  - When something within the frame moves

Parallel movement  - Affinity

 - Contrast

Two+ objects moving: One direction = Affinity. Two+ directions = Contrast

Camera Movement - When the frame itself moves. (Camera movement should be motivated!)

Static Shot - Absence of movement. Low Intensity

Dolly/SteadyCam/Slider - Slow movement. Medium Intensity

Hand Held - Holding it yourself/light shakes. High Intensity.

Point of Attention - Our eyes being drawn to something else (Where is the Audience Looking?)

Differences - 

Focus - Deep and Shallow depth of field.

Parallax - Objects closer to main subject will move faster (e.g. buildings are closer than the sun).

Dolly in - Changes the perspective although still imitating a human’s sight. 

Zoom in - Is not actually a camera movement, it’s just a camera lens. Cropping the capture. - Loses Parallax as it feels fake.

Contra Zoom (Dolly zoom, Trombone) - Perspective changes, however, the main subject remains a constant.

Rhythm - Fragmented Action VS Continuous Action

Fragmented - Creates Contrast and High Intensity - Short Takes

Continuous - Creates Affinity and Low Intensity - Long takes
