Back to the future

The film was made in during the 1980’s,it uses a lot of camera work to tell the story in more detail for example: the camera man uses a large variety of close ups and mediums shot, he does this often throughout the film to show the expressions on the characters faces. Another technique of using a close up is that you can pick out the key features of the film such as the time machine car. In this case the close ups are extremely important for the characters facial reactions, in this particular film many things go wrong with the main character, and by using close ups of his face we can tell what’s wrong.

Forrest Gump

In this scene the camera man uses a lot of panning camera work, the effect of this is we can see across the scene and see what’s happening around. The scene also uses a point of view shot when the two characters are sitting and eating their lunch, the main effect of this is we can see the main facial expression of each character, in this case we can tell the main character is feeling upset because we can tell from his facial expression. I prefer the camera work from back to the future, this is because it is more action packed due to the close ups of the film, it feels as if we are in the film and we know what’s happening throughout, the close ups also bring out more facial expressions this way we can see what the characters is feeling.
