Yesterday I had another practical lesson, where we were taught how to use camera and film sequences. It was very productive and exiting. Along with new filming skills we learnt how to locate the camera in a desirable position and which shots work best with particular events. The camera expert told us when to zoom in and focus, and then to zoom out.
Shooting a Sequence. This week we were introduced a simple method of shooting sequences on a single camera. The entire scene is first filmed in a wide shot, then played out again I a few mid shots and finally whatever close-ups that would help tell the story and to be used as cut always. With the camera still running the hole scene was, even if most of it is out of shot. The technique ensures that he action flows together nicely in the edit, will not have any story gaps, has good continuity and also gives the editors more options.
Preliminary Task Shoot. We worked in groups of three, for this task,
I am very looking forward for another practical lesson.
All the best.
Phil
