Wednesday 30

We went to Jackson’s house in order to film the required scenes and audio. We went about this by going over the shot list and systematically recorded each item that we were able to film, while recording each nessisairy sound separately

Equipment

Battery’s will deplete faster in the cold

SD card needs to be formatted to configure it to the cameras setting

Check if you have the right lens kit for different shots

Use light meter to configure ISO (640)

Ensure shutter speed is 2x ISO

Panning fast pans are called whip pans can be done practically with limited tripods  

Tilt camera moves up this moves the focus from the bottom to the top

Tracking the camera moves to follow a moving person or object

Backwards tracking shot Lateral tracking shot forward tracking shot

Steadicam makes the camera stable

Snorricam stays on you as a tracking close up makes you focus on actor’s motion

Conrazoom/dolly zoom background stretches where person moves toward the person changing the background while moving the foreground  

Conrazoom was invented during vertigo

Dutch angle where the camera is not flat

Crane/jib/drone gets aerial shots it also acts like a gimbal

Push and pull focus changes focus during filming to change the focus of the shot

Breathing using push and pull focus to go to and fro between 2 subjects
