Camera Techniques.

A key part of my project which I've forgotten to mention on my blog is the camera techniques I plan to use.
This will be a big part of my experimentation, to help emphasize certain bits as well as add a new element to my Film Noir film.

The Contra Zoom will be included in the film, the process is when you pull the camera away from the shot, and zoom in at the same time. This gives a surreal look of the subject matter being concentrated on as everything else in the background gets big. It's a good shot to use for someone being shocked or surprised or realizing something.

Here is an example of a contra zoom test:



And here is an example of it in the film, 'La Haine' which is a briliant, go to 02.25 to see the contra zoom in full effect, connoting that things are concentrating on them, in this big city of Paris:
