Textual Analysis - Camerawork 3 - Camera Movement

When analysing the clip for Section A: Textual Analysis and Representation on the G322 Key Media Concepts (TV Drama) paper it is likely that you will need to relate various examples of camera movement to the chosen area of representation.

As with the other camerawork terms, there is no necessity to define the term - instead, by using the term confidently and relating it to the action that is taking place (and, of course, commenting on how it reinforces what you are saying about the chosen area of representation) you will gain some of the marks available for appropriate use of terminology.
