thirds

camerawork
• Try and use a tripod as much as you can to
ensure the camera is controlled
• Ensure when using a close up you do not go to
close or to far away
• When using a focus always focus on your
subjects eyes this would make them look
sharp
• When using a zoom you should use a very
slow zoom, these are the most effective if they
are done well

• Keep the composition simple
Audio

when filming to ensure you can get a good
volume- use a external microphone is possible

distort

shoot

the individuals

the genre

clothing and props
Editing

the same thing
• Get the pace right do not make the shots to fast
• Don’t use transitions unless they actually mean something and
add to the shot
• Ensure that you cut out any shots that are not important to the
scene
• Use a fade or a dissolve when you are showing the passage of
time
• Do not use effects that will look gimmicky including transitions
and effects

quality of your video
• Use sound to make the edit smooth otherwise you may have
silences
• Never use any in camera effects in a video as
this may effect the quality of your video

unless the viewer actually sees the viewpoint
move across the line
• Ensure the camera is kept still

filming

of the situation

film
