Analysis of camera work in horror movies

چکیده
Camera work parameters such as shot size, camera movement, and camera angle are crucial parts for creating digital contents such as movies and games. After creating a story that is to be conveyed to the audience, it is important to be able to present the intended feeling in the contents. By using the same content but by modifying the parameters, such as from a long distance shot to a close up, we can get a great difference in the impact of the viewer’s feelings. The purpose of this study is to analyze camera work parameters in horror movies and find features that can be used as reference in future research for automatically reproducing suitable camera work in digital contents.
