Rules for Filming
Words:
1. Quiet on set: Make sure there is no background noise
2. Rolling: Camera and audio is on and recording
3. Action: Actor begin the dialogue or their actions
4. Cut: Everything stops
Use 180 degree rule whilst filming a conversation scene
Rehearse beforehand so all actor know what they need to do and were the camera
will be positioned
Remember tokeep a positive working environment
Remember to use the clap board before shouting action, so audio is easier to
sync in post
Test equipment beforehand to make sure everything is working
Always filmmore than you have to, it will make editing much easier
Don’t stop filming until you feel you have got the best shots you wanted
Give you self-enoughtime to film for a short film around 2 hours for each
shot
Make sure nothing is in the Frame you don’t what there
Make sure the camera settings are correct before shooting:
1. 24 Frames Per Second
2. Manual Focus
3. ISO: 100 – 800
4. Aperture:small as possible
Don’t worry too much about colour you can edit it during post production
Always have the storyboardon set with you, to refer too
If the conditions are windy remember to put a dead cat (Windshield) on the
microphone
Make sure Memory card is empty before filming
Make sure actor know all there lines
Make sure camera is clearly focused on the subject, except if it is intentional
