Camera Movement

Above is a video from my favorite show, Degrassi: The Next Generation. This scene focuses on camera movement. In this scene, the camera is moving closer to the character Craig (Jake Epstein) to make the illusion that the train is getting closer to Craig, in his attempt to commit suicide. This scene was actually created with the camera being on a wheeled cart, moving closer to Epstein. This camera movement is interesting because it builds a lot of suspense in this episode. If you were to watch this episode for the first time, you would probably think that Craig is actually going to die. It creates so much more drama and adds to Craig's overall development and story line (which is VERY interesting, by the way).
