Cam corder, or security camera effect

This is when the picture given on the screen looks like or is filmed through a security camera or video camera, with the record and play options on the screen.

video camera; this gives a good effect because it gives the effect that someone is filming it who is in the film, or it could give the effect that the character is filming him self maybe showing in a thriller that he could be abandoned with a camera, lost or in a bad situation. It also looks more jolty and less professional and the quality doesn't look as good all effects that can benefit the dynamics of a film.

paranormal activity has loads of uses when they use the video camera and security camera;

security camera; this gives the same sort of effects but gives you more rigid movements, such as just up and down, and left and right. This can give effects such as being followed or being watched and giving different perspectives on the events happening, or this could really help on the themes of the film, such as robbery films or cop films this could really be effective for these types of films.

this is an effect of filming through a security camera and time lapse;
