Photography-
- Use shot list and storyboard to aid my filming but must not restrict myself to it.
- Shoot in a way which will be easy to edit, for example leaving space at the start and end of each shot.
- Shoot each scene with a standard set up, a master shot and two other angled shots eg. Over shoulder
- Blocking will allow me to gain some prior knowledge of how the filming will turn out, thus I can decide if I feel it will be a good choice for me to use that location.
- Shoot each shot three times, this will give me a variety of choices when it comes to editing allowing me to use only the best quality acting and camera work I have.
Positioning and Movement-
- Zoom and angled shots, create tension and pressure
- Pan and Tilt shots
- Tight and wide shots, intimate shots or shots which offer a broader sense of the situation
- High and low angles create either dominant or venerable shots
- Establishing shots- inform the audience of the story’s surroundings
- Tripod allows for steadier and smoother shots
- Hand held shots create a feeling of being in the characters shoes
- Pull focus, same shot but changing the main subject
Framing-
- Looking/ walking room
- Headroom
- Wide or narrow looks of surroundings
- Rule of thirds- creating a 3 by 3 grid which aids to structure shots in a way which is pleasing to the eye.
Lighting-
- No flat light, often occurs when filming outside in over cast weather
- Contrast- low key and high key lighting creating depth and obscuring the characters emotions from the audience.
- Continuity- shots must flow from one to another, filming must be done within a period of time that will not stick out or be evident in the final product.
