Single camera techniques
This document discusses the key differences between single camera and multi-camera film production techniques. Single camera productions use only one camera and allow more creative control over shots, but they are more time consuming. Some advantages of single camera include more realistic shots, ability to light scenes individually, and consistency in audio tracks. Common genres for single camera include drama, horror, and period films. Multi-camera is faster but provides less directorial control, and is better suited for genres like comedy and soap operas that need quick production turnarounds.
Microphone
The document discusses the production of a student film. It summarizes that no microphones were used for filming since most sound was added in later as voiceovers, and an audio recorder was used to capture voiceovers and emphasize a fall. It also notes that two different cameras were used for filming, with differing quality, and that Premiere Elements was used for editing but initially caused issues. Lighting techniques like fill lights and reflectors were employed to improve image quality.

Location shots
The document outlines 5 locations that will be used to film stop frame animation shots for a music video called "what I want". The locations include a hall, kitchen, stairs, bedroom, and garden. At each location, details are provided about how the animation shots of a campervan will be set up and lit to maximize visibility and creative potential. The shots will all be captured during the day for optimal lighting.
Photographic Evidence Of Filming
The document discusses lighting issues encountered while filming at an outdoor location. As the sun was setting, it was difficult to get the correct lighting, camera settings, and angles before it became too dark. This required setting up the camera earlier and experimenting to get the establishing shot before the light disappeared quickly. Filming had to be done in the dark to maintain continuity with most of the footage. Natural lighting helped create an eerie tone fitting the narrative but background noise from a nearby road and passing people required retaking shots. Various lighting, camera focus, angles, and shots were tested to portray different meanings and hints to the audience. Refilming in darker conditions and scheduling issues with actors also presented challenges.

For the final film, they improved planning, camera work with close-ups and tracking shots, lighting with natural light and switches, sound with original music and effects, editing with transitions and cuts, mise-en-scene with location and costumes, and titles with narrative openings and adjusted font. Overall, the filmmaker incorporated more advanced techniques after learning from feedback on their preliminary version.
Location reports for ‘mirage’
This document discusses location choices for shooting a horror film trailer called "Mirage". Several indoor and outdoor locations are considered, including a bedroom, garage, kitchen, living room, dining room, woods, pathways, a park with swings, a field, and an underpass. Key criteria for the locations include having the right lighting and atmosphere to convey the horror genre, being spacious for filming flexibility, and being accessible. The bedroom, kitchen and pathways are cited as having similar effective horror elements to scenes in the film Paranormal Activity.
cameraexperiments-220302172155.pptx
The document discusses the results of various photography experiments testing different camera settings and equipment. It begins by explaining tests done with varying the ISO setting in different lighting conditions and analyzing the resulting image quality. It then covers experiments testing the effects of shutter speed on moving subjects and depth of field using different aperture settings. Further experiments examined the distortions produced by lenses of varying focal lengths and the impact of lighting techniques like low-key and three-point lighting. The document concludes by presenting a storyboard applying these technical lessons to convey a narrative using various photographic techniques.
Media our room
The document discusses location scouting for a film shoot. It describes several rooms that were considered, including a classroom that was rejected because it had too many classroom features. Another room, a common room, was also rejected because it had too much furniture to move and no desk could be used for a conversation scene. The document also mentions using a chair on wheels for moving shots, calling it a "dolly shot", and problems having to re-film scenes due to scheduling issues and a cast member getting a haircut.
Location Research
The document discusses three potential locations for filming a music video: Richmond Park forest, the drama studio, and the photography studio. For the forest, the document notes its suitability due to its artistic vibe and ease of access. Limitations include slippery grass and birds. The drama studio provides a wide and dark space ideal for dramatic lip syncing and drumming scenes. The photography studio allows for projecting moving images on its white walls, though the small space will require rearranging furniture.
Further editing
1) The document discusses editing techniques used in a 2-minute title sequence for a thriller film. Ellipsis and continuity editing were used to omit unnecessary elements and create a continuous flow between shots.
2) Shots were sped up to add urgency and pace, and fades were used between location changes. Black screens with diegetic sounds were inserted to let the audience use their imagination.
3) Match cuts and camera focus techniques were employed to smoothly transition between shots of a van and set up a video camera scene. Thin white titles on black screens were chosen to not distract from the thriller atmosphere.
James 7
The document compares the planning and production of the author's preliminary thriller film to their final thriller film. For the final film, they conducted more in-depth research, created a detailed storyboard, included more close-ups and tracking shots, used natural lighting and created their own soundtrack. The editing, mise-en-scene, props, and titles were also improved in the final film compared to the preliminary version through gaining experience.
First shoot commentary
The first location filmed was an art studio that was rearranged to look like an office. Props like a computer and office supplies were used, and lighting was set up with display lights and an LED screen light. The second location was at Sharpness Docks by the river, where a long tracking shot was done with a flycam stabilizer. Audio issues arose from picking up distant industrial drilling. The final shots were in an empty car park, with handheld shots inside the car and a low camera angle on the floor to quickly film the scene as daylight ended.
Evaluation question 6
The document discusses various technologies used in filming a project, including cameras, camera movements, microphones, and lighting. It describes learning about camera focus and using a Panasonic HD camcorder. Camera movements like a "crab" around a car are discussed. Both boom and clip microphones were used, each with pros and cons. Lighting was challenging with some scenes being too bright; mirrors were used to reflect sunlight onto faces as makeshift fill lights.
Props and locations
The document discusses props and locations needed for a music video. Props include microphones, an amp, drum kit, electric guitar, heels, shot glasses, a disco light ball, spray paint, black sheet, and lashes. Locations include the drama hall for its lighting, a brick wall for graffiti scenes, an alleyway to depict an urban setting, and a garage that could be used for a party scene. The video has a concept involving different scenes in a short time, so it requires various props and locations to establish settings and mood.

Locations include the drama hall for its lighting, a brick wall for graffiti scenes, an alleyway to depict an urban setting, and a garage that could be used for a party scene. The video has a concept of different scenes happening quickly across an upbeat urban area.
Evaluation pp
The document discusses lessons learned from a preliminary media production task that were applied to a subsequent full production task. It summarizes that the preliminary task taught skills like using video editing software, effective camera angles, match cuts, camera focus and zoom, shot composition, and natural lighting. These lessons informed the full task by applying match cuts during a stairwell scene and utilizing artificial lighting, camerawork, and props to suit different genres of scenes.
How we created a remake of Lorde's Royals
The students decided to recreate a scene from Lorde's music video for "Royals" because they liked its minimalist style and simple editing techniques. They storyboarded shots to mimic those from the original video but had to modify their plan during filming due to location constraints. The students shot footage of their actress lip syncing to the song in a classroom using one camera on a tripod and a lighting box. They edited the clips in iMovie to match the timing of the song, facing challenges in lighting, location finding, and syncing the audio with the video footage.

- 1. Dark Signal trailer recreation project
- 2. Shot List
- 5. Location shots We will be using this room (the school’s recording studio) as the recording studio used in the trailer as they both look similar and have the microphone and dials that we need to film with. We will be using one of the school’s kitchens to recreate the kitchen scenes in the trailer. Our only issue with using this location is the amount of light in the room as in the trailer the room is quite dark. To fix this we will most likely need to find something to cover the windows and also edit the footage to make it appear darker
- 6. Prop list We used this car beacon for a few of our scenes as it has a red flashing light which fit perfectly with the timing of the trailer. The beacon also doubled as a torch which we used in the car scene For the scene which the cover is pulled back to reveal a dead girl we used a phone with a picture of a green square in a dark room to give a similar look to the room in the trailer which has a green hint to the lighting We also used a car in a couple of the shots we filmed in the forest. The car used in the trailer was also silver so this made it look more similar In a couple of shots that we filmed we had to use fake blood. We tried to make it resemble the original trailer as much as possible so we tried to put the blood in the exact same place.
