2. When filming... Zoom IN and OUT Panning Position of the shot Different levels on the tripod Time efficiency Close up shot Creating a suitable Mise en scene
3. Zoom IN and OUT To ensure a good close up I learnt how to zoom in on the camera. You fix the shot first then hold the zoom switch to fix a zoom. Panning To get a good panning shot I had to put the camera on a tripod. The shot was then stable and allowed me to move easily and follow the mise en scene/ character in the shot.
4. Different levels on a tripod To get a variety of shots I needed to change the level of the tripod to adjust the height. The way I did his was increasing the legs length or adjusting the height by turning the stick. Position of the shot Before shooting our different shots we created a storyboard to plan our shots. We then were able to film our shots accordingly by making sure e.g. The character on screen wasn’t entirely centre unless the plot implies something is going to happen.
5. Time efficiency As I have mentioned previously we organised our time wisely to make our time efficient. This skill is an organisational skill I have learnt along with the process. Creating a suitable Mise en scene Another organisational skill I have learnt is developing the area in which the shot is going to be filmed. We organised props and different scenery to make the background of our shot appropriate.
6. Close up Shot This shot was very important to capture for our final product. The way in which we did this was fixing the shot first then zooming in closely to the characters expression. I made sure the characters face wasn’t centre of the shot and placed on the left had side of the screen where he was in the conversation. This is another skill I have learnt in the process of making my final film.
