Tracking Shot:



This shot is taken from a scene in the film Jaws. Within this shot a tracking shot is used, the effect it had on the audience is that it creates them to see that the character Brody has realised something is going on, in this case a shark attack is taking place. It also creates the feeling that time is going slow however in his head it is rushing by.

Track Shot:



This clip from the famous horror film The Shining is a great example of a tracking shot. Here the tracking shot is used to keep up with the boy on his bike and it makes the audience feel like we are there with him experiencing what he is seeing and doing.

Wrom's eye view:





Within this video it shows a very basic example of a worms eye view. The effects of using this angle when filming can be to create a character to look dominant which it does in this animation.

Whip Pan:





Here is an example of a whip pan. It is shown in the trailer for the film Magnolia. The use of it within the trailer is that it is a good and quick way to introduce the main characters that will be in the film. It also suggests that the film maybe quite chaotic.

Panning Shot:



Here is a straight forward example of a panning shot. The camera simply pivots from one side to the other showing the view of the sea. The use of the panning shot in this case is to give clear evidence of the scenery.

Sherlock Holmes is an action mystery based film which was directed in 2009 by Guy Ritchie. Its release date was the 26^th December 2009. The film stars celebrities Robert Downey Jr., Jude law and Rachel McAdams.  Guy Ritchie is a very successful director and has directed many famous films such as Snatch, Rocknrolla and Revolver. When Sherlock Homes was released it received very positive reviews and was then to be nominated for two academy awards, best original score and best art direction however lost to Up and Avatar.  I have now seen the film twice and I have enjoyed watching the film both times because it is such a compacted film it is easily to forget certain moments which allowed me to never get bored. I love the pace of the film, every moment throughout the film you have to pay attention because you can easily miss something because the film has such a fast, sharp pace.  I also enjoy watching the stunts and special effects used which always engages the audience.  Something that I really like about the film is that it provokes many feelings because it is funny, dramatic, adventurous, shocking and plenty more. The lighting and the costume in the film both create it to be very clear for the audience at what time period it is set in. The lighting is dull and therefore gives the impression that it is old fashioned alongside with the costumes which are also dull coloured and aged. The use of slow motion in the film is done very effectively. It is used to show into the future and while the actions of the future are in slow motion Sherlock Holmes narrates what is happening.  Also while this is happening the sounds of movements are emphasised making it more dramatic. Extreme close ups are used throughout the film for example close ups on the mouth when something important or significant s being said. This makes it clear to the audience to pay attention at what is being said and creates the situation to stand out.  Everyone in my age group that I know have watched the film has said that they really enjoyed it and have said it’s a great film. I think if Sherlock Holmes pleases my age group I think it will definitely appeal to older age groups too. The ending of the movie is good because it has allowed the opportunity of there being a sequel which makes the audience wants to see more. Overall I enjoyed watching the film and believe it will be for many people that watch it because of it being original and different to any other action film.
