The 400 Blows: Camera Movement

The film, The 400 Blows, had a lot of different visual styles. The specific visual style that I focused on was camera movement. The opening scene used panning and tracking camera movements. The film would zoom in on certain things when the children were in school, as well as when Antoine was reading a book. Tilting was another form of camera movement that was shown in the film. For example, tilting was used when the boys were walking down an alley way and then the camera tilted up to the tops of the buildings. Panning was used quite often throughout the film.
