Here are some resources to help you wrap up your storyboards for Door Scene II, by giving you more exposure to camera shots, and avoid mistakes. The first video, "Using Powerful Camera Angles and Shots" is shared here to help you think deeper about the shots we are using, and also to give you more background on this topic so picking out your four camera angles is a snap.
The next video, "10 Mistakes every beginner Filmmaker Makes" is to share some important things to avoid. Some of the topics are advanced, and not all apply to the cameras we use. But gamers will be familiar with frame rate, and you can do a variety of things to help your shots from being under or over exposed. If you choose to take up filmmaking as a hobby or profession, I hope I can share with you some ways to develop your skills and learn new things for those times when you may be out of the classroom.
After watching the video, get in your groups to work on more of your scenes for the storyboard check in.
Types of Shots-
Extreme wide shot- The actor is small and the background is huge
Wide Shot/full shot-Establish relationship between the subject and the background. Can make the actor look lonely
Medium full shot/Cowboy Shot- From the hips to above the head. You would be able to see the cowboy in a saddle, if that helps you to remember
Medium shot- Actor is framed just above the waist. Good for documentaries and interviews. Close to connect, but far away to see their surroundings
Medium Close up/Bust Shot- Halfway between a Medium and a Close up
Close up-One of the shots where the actors face dominates the shot
Extreme Close up-So Close that part of the face is cut off to make an intense zoom
Cut in/Insert shot-They don't focus on people, more often the object that is the focus. For instance, the doorknob, the key, whatever the focus of the story is.
Cut away-Cutting from one scene to another. If one character calls another, and the first part of the call is on Actor 1, the next shot would be actor 2.
POV-Point of View-Seeing through the camera
Over the Shoulder-
2 Shot-Two actors, often sharing the same amount of space
Mix and match shots. Be creative.
Medium two shot
Close up over the shoulder
Try to avoid these mistakes: Edit your film so that it matches the sound. Use 24 frame rate, the more frames is not for the better. This is a cinematic look. Use the base iso for the camera, unless you are shooting sports or fast motion that you want to freeze. Learn to control your camera so that you can take advantage of its powerful features. Try to get a good exposure, make it so that you are not shooting too dark or too light. Color Grade your footage. Try to get good lighting, without lights if possible. Look for a window. In other words, don't film in a dark corner. Make sure that your film still tells an interesting story by planning it out beforehand. Take your time and plan out your video.
In Digital Photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. ... By choosing a higher ISO you can use a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement. Source
While the term color grading refers to the whole process of adjusting the color from the source file to the final output, the process is split into two parts: Color correction: The process of adjusting the basic color and white balance, exposure, and contrast to be consistent from shot to shot.
