Eragon...Its a story based on a book entitled Eragon by Christopher Paolini. It is a story of a farm boy who loves hunting becoming a Dragon Rider which has been a legend for more than 100 years. Start with the moment of he owing the legendary blue egg and end at the war.
Lens flareAt the red box that i marked on this pic, the camera lense effect due to the sun shine has been implemented on this movie. This effect shows that it was unrealistic especially when its was on princess Arya.
I can understand the purpose, just it is not at the right place.
Besides.. this movie failed to meet my expectation as it is almost looks like LOTR. However, the movie can be said beautifully planned and created especially for the sceneries and the villages.
In this movie scene, it consists of a sequence of screen shots and as the shots were made from a different perspective, they can be said joined together perfectly. The joining together of the individual shots to make a particular scene is accomplished through transitions.
This screen shot show the screen shot were such as taken from many camera for every different time. And then, of all the shot were joined together to make it looks like stopping the time.
From this screen shot, the beautiful village can be seen. They used perspective for the camera angle. By focusing on at the back or at the upper shot.
Extreme long shotThis screen shot shows the camera techniques of extreme long shot. The snapshot came from the eye of Durza point of view where he can see the village on fire.
There has another usage of motion vision that captured my eye, that is, when Eragon riding his dragon, Saphira.
Force perspective
On of the cinematographic techniques used is force perspective where it is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography , film making and architecture. It manipulates manipulates human vision through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.
Birds eye technique shows the ability as the bird's eye. The shot is taken from upper view and focusing straight to the human (with fire colored effect).
Depth of field effects
Real cameras have a depth of field, i.e., only part of the image is in focus at anyone time. The depth of field is a function of the lens length with short lenses (wide-angle) having a large depth of field and telephoto lenses have a small depth of field. This effect can be seen as the camera only focusing one object in a time and making the shot blur for the background.
This picture as an example .
