Creative Filming and Editing Tasks
1) Filming a person
sitting down with the monitor window open and with another camera film the
monitor.
2) Cloning editing
task – tripod and camera must remain still in wide shot. Actor is filmed moving
in different parts of the shot. Standing by the board, sitting down. 6
different shots. Go to premiere link on how to edit it.
3) Depth of field
task – Do a distance little and large shot so that someone looks very small in
the background and another very large.
Place an object like a cup or a ball down maybe with grass
background - place the camera level with the object quite far away and then
zoom into it so the object is sharp but the camera is blurred.
Place your artist in the background and add various cut out
props to the foreground to float around the artist.
4) Reverse shot –
while the artist is singing get them to walk carefully backwards, but to add
excitement to the shot add obstacles for jumping over and ball throwing so it
can be reversed.
5) Wheelchair /
Tripod – we are going to simulate tracking and dolly shots. Camera on
wheelchair film artist moving towards you singing to camera one take 30
seconds.
Tripod shot – raise the front leg of the tripod so the
camera is pushed forward on the back legs.
6) Lego stop motion
– 30 still shots of lego action (one second each)
