Today we recieved the video cameras we will be using to create our film.
We began the lesson with a tutorial of the video cameras in which we learnt the basic, how to switch between to modes, how to white balance,taking snapshots whilst filming etc we were also taught various things such as shot sizes, camera lens and movement and shot angles, we also learned that we would need a variety of shots, angles and movements,to name a few-pan,crab,track,zoom,ped and tilt.
When we first recieved the camera we were a bit skeptical at first but gradually got familiar with the video camera.We played around on the video cameras and composed short scenes on the camera which consisted of potential shots we may use- a tracking shot of Bobbie, a crab right (movement straight across), zoom in/out to focus on a certain object and show the depth of it, a ped (dropping slowly in a straight line) and a extreme close-up.Despite 2 members of our group being absent again, we still managed to work efficiently on our own.
