Shot and Camera Analysis- Project 3

Above is the camera break down diagram for my third project, dealing with space. It takes place throughout a house and deals with how a character interacts with that space. The shot are in a style inspired by the Woody Allen movie, "Manhatten." Below, I will list the job of each camera.

This projects assignment was to shoot a film that explores space in an unusual way, inspired from a movie we watched. The movie I watched was Woodie Allen's "Manhattan," which deals with how characters interact and live in space. The movie was shot in black and white, so my piece echoes this.
