Camera Movement Used in Batman Vs Bane scene - Mrs House






In the scene Batman Vs Bane there are lots of Camera Movement used throughout: High Angles, Mid Shot, Close Up, Tracking, 360 degree Pan and Long Shot,  All of the Shots have different effects.

One of the first shots id a High Angle shot on Bane, this is when the angle is looking up towards the character. The effect of this is that it makes Bane in this case look powerful as it appears that he is looming over Batman. The effect on the audience is that it makes them feel empathy for the  Batman and feel that Bane is more powerful than he really is. This makes them sit up and pay attention to the action about to happen as they are drawn in to see how Batman will over power a seemingly impossible opponent.

Another one the first shots we see in the Mid Shot this is use to show just the upper half of Batmans Body. The effect of this is that it allows the you to see Batmans upper torso and head this allows you to get a look at the character and make come accustomed the character. The effect of this on the Audience is that it makes them realise who the character is and how serious he is taken the role so you should take his performance as that too.

Another one of the the camera movements used in the scene was a Close up this is a shot that shows just the head and face of a character in this case Bane. The effect of this is that it can show the emotion on the face and we can see in this shot that Bane is prepared to do anything as he has a stiff look almost directly at the camera that looks right at you. The effect of this on the audience is that is makes the audience feel afraid of bane as he looks at them instead of above them this is an example of Subjective Filming. It also makes the audience feel sorry for Batman for having to fight Bane as they can see how determined he is to win.

On of the Camera Movement that Nolan used in this scene is Tracking this is when the camera tracks the movement of walking or running and shakes to follow the steps simulating the movement your head does while moving. The effect of this is that it puts you right in the scene with them and makes you feel what the character is feeling. The tracking in this scene is used to I think to show the power of the two men as it shakes during the fight and when either of the men are walking toward the other one, this makes them feel empathy for both as they see the power of the two of them it also keeps them on their seats as they want to know how it ends.

One of the most effective shots in the scene is the 360 degree pan this is when the characters or character is in an important scene then the camera does a 360 degree movement around them. There are many different effects that can be seen when the 360 degree pan, ranging from Tension to Action in this scene the Pan is used to simulate Tension as you are not sure who is going to win the fight. The effect on the audience is that it makes them stand up and pay attention to what is going to happen. In this case the effect is that the audience will want to pay attention as they will need to know who will win.

In conclusion the amount of camera movement that is used create a variety of effects some are power and some are tension they depend on where they are used and how they used within the location.
