Abstract

Communication is one of the most important parts of human life. We cannot live without communicating with each other. There are many forms and mediums of communication among which cinema is considered one of the most important modes of communication. Not only this it also has the power to influence the mass and bring about some changes in the society. It has the power to shape the mind of people and give them a new direction in life. Films are made in many different spoken languages, but cinema has its own visual language as well. Camera techniques are one of them. A lot is conveyed through cameras in movies which at times even dialogues cannot convey. The camera is not just used to record the act done by the actors, but it is the bridge between the audience and the performers which helps to connect them to each other. Using camera techniques in a way which leaves a good and long impact over the mind of the audience is difficult and only good directors gave the capability of doing so. When we watch any movie, we are taken into the journey of characters by the director and camera plays the role of a vehicle which helps us to go on this journey. Thus, camera can be considered not just equipment but a tool for making the story telling process more interesting and the process of communication more impactful.
