  Ah spellbound, my favorite of the three short films. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to just list the stuff I noted and tack on some explanation, so: Early in the film, there is a pan across a trophy case. This gives a feeling of calmness while allowing the audience to soak in the visuals, allowing a juxtaposition against the drawer full of ribbons labeled "you tried". Later, when the protagonist is sliding down and then crashing off of a railing, the camera follows rather smoothly, followed by an abrupt jolt that gives the audience a sense of impact. Later, the book forces itself open as the protagonist fights against it, subtly knocking back the camera as well. This adds weight to the visuals. As the blobby villains congeal into a larger monster, the camera turns to follow the transformation, becoming more ominous.  Further shots of this monster show informal balance and leading lines, making it clear the the monster is much too viscous to fight.

  Movements in cameras are used in films to convey emotion, such as ground up to convey stability and authority.  These are some of the camera movements. Crane down camera movement makes the audience feel as if they're being dropped into the scene and experiencing it just like the characters do. Crane up movement makes you feel like the character is tiny compared to the obstacle. Crane high to low angle makes a character look more menacing or larger. Slow dolly motion allows people to connect with the character on an intimate level while dollying out makes the character look more emotionally lost or abandoned. Dolly across represents action or faceing off against opponents, or reveals something that changes how the audience sees the opponent. Glidecam 360 reveal shots show a sort of calm before the storm feeling for a character. A Zolly shot or a zoom and dolly shot makes the character seem as if they're having an out of body experience
