Practice Shooting
We hadn't really done any filming since our preliminary task before the summer. So Claudia and I decided to practice some shots. It was like a refresher of different angles and shots we could use when filming Claudia lip syncing for the performance section. Even though we haven't planned a lot of lip syncing, the bits we do have will need to be effective.
We found that close up's worked a lot better. A close-up emphasizes a persona emotional state. Whereas a mid-shot or wide-shot is more appropriate for delivering facts and general information, a close-up exaggerates facial expressions which convey emotion. The viewer is drawn into the subject's personal space and shares their feelings. Therefore close ups will work a lot better for the performance based shots.

WWW: You have clearly experimented using a variety of camera shots in preparation for your final filming of footage. The video is structured clearly and the annotations of the shots show that you have a good knowledge and understanding of camera shots.
ReplyDeleteEBI: Research into camera movement. In the video above all of the shots are handheld so perhaps you could experiment with using a tripod. This would also allow you to practice and experiment with camera angles by using the ball point tripods that allow you to adjust the angle of the camera. You could also experiment with pan shots by using this.
