Motion Reference for Video

Find the movement inside the reference.

A clip can contain several kinds of motion at once: a person turning, a hand moving, and a camera following the scene. Identify the movement that matters to your idea before describing the next video.

Separate what the subject does from what the camera does. If the rhythm or sequence matters, describe where the movement begins, changes, and ends.

Compare the Action and the Camera

Watch the reference and the result at the moments being compared. Look at the subject's action, the timing, and the camera movement separately.
