Shooting Video
- Shot types
- AFI Shot types
- Tips from http://mindymcadams.com/tojou/2008/17-video-tips-learned-on-the-fly/
- SHOOT TO EDIT (in other words, always remember to turn off your camera after every shot so capturing the video and working with it will be easier).
- STORY MATTERS.
- “Spraying video” is not smart storytelling. (when you take a camera out and just record everything, cutting it together with voiceovers)
- Video involves compressing time in pictures.
- As with still photos, composition matters.
- If you are going to tell a story in 90 seconds, you cannot have a huge cast of characters.
- Close-ups, close-ups, close-ups.
- Long shots set the scene.
- Let the camera run long, before and after the shot, so that you have handles of time for editing.
- You’re gonna need 10-12 shots per one minute of finished video.
- Watch out for your camera reflection in windows, and for background audio such as traffic.
- Don't move the camera too much.
- Hold your camera steady.
Questions to ask when taking a photo or shooting video?
- What story am I telling?
- What/Who is the main focus of the shot?
- Where do I want the focus be in the frame?
- Do any objects, body parts or shadows appear cut off?
- Are there any distractions in the background or foreground?
- How is the subject lit?
- Is the frame filled?
- From what other perspectives could I capture this subject?
- How am I going to hold the camera? Portrait? Landscape? Angle?
