Cinematography Terms and
       Techniques

Camera Shots
To make the video as effective as it can; I think
I would use a variety of different camera
shots. These shots will be either closer to the
object or further away from it. The shots
closer to the object/person will engage the
audience further as it makes the focus on the
person and specific aspects about the person
such as their expression. However, far shots
can also be useful as it allows viewers to see
the background/setting.
Above is a table which tells you some types of shots, the visual composition and when
it shall be used. However, in the next few slides there will be more types of shots and
examples of them. I think that since the video is interviewing teachers in general; I will
mostly use the close-up shot since it is a teacher at a time therefore this type of shot
makes it easier to identify the facial expression of the teacher.

HIGH ANGLE SHOT




I do not think that I would use this type of shot in this video because
it would not be appropriate for the intention of the video. My video
is to persuade and I however do not think that filming a teacher from
a high angle shot has the ability to engage students to the cause.
Camerashots&equiptment
EXTREME CLOSE UP




I am considering to film teachers using an extreme close up because I think it
is effective and engaging partly because there are no other distractions to
distract students. Although, the fact that an extreme close up is extremely
close and magnifies a particular feature of the person, I don’t think that it
would be appropriate and the most effective shot.
Camerashots&equiptment
CLOSE UP




I am definitely going to use this shot while filming. I think it by far is the
most effective shot as the whole face can be seen which means there is both
eye contact from the teacher being interviewed and also her expression
would be visible to the audience, which would be very persuasive to the
viewers.
Camerashots&equiptment
MID SHOT




I think that I would use this shot while filming as it also is effective, it is engaging. I
think that the combination of a close up shot and a mid shot would be interesting.
Also, changing the shot would not lose viewers while they are half way through
the video.
Camerashots&equiptment
POINT OF VIEW SHOT




I do not think that I would use this shot at all. I think this because it is not
relevant; the video is about filming teachers, so it doesn’t make sense to have a
point of view shot of the teachers will they are speaking.
Camerashots&equiptment
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT




I do not think I will use the over the shoulder shot because
teachers are going to be interviewed one by one, so a mid shot
(which normally needs 2 people) will not be effective.
Camerashots&equiptment
DUTCH SHOT




I do not think that I will use this shot because it is not relevant to the task- why
make the faces of the teachers seem slanted? It is not effective and is distracting
for viewers. It will not give a serious feel to viewers when the video should.
Camerashots&equiptment
LOW ANGLE SHOT




I do not think I will use this shot at all as I do not think the main message of the
video will be sent as effectively as it could. This shot would emphasize the hands
and stomach of the teacher, not their face (the part of the body which would
effectively send the message to viewers).
Camerashots&equiptment
LONG SHOT




I do not think that I would use this shot because I am interviewing teachers;
and a long shot will not be so persuasive and engaging as a closer shot.
Camerashots&equiptment
PANORAMA




I will definitely not use this shot as it is not needed in an interview and will not be
effective in terms of the message being delivered as well as it could. Plus, I will be
interviewing a teacher in a room, which will not have any scenery to show.
Camerashots&equiptment
ESTABLISHING SHOT




There is a possibility of me using this shot. I would record Island School as
the filming is taking place there as well as I interviewed students and the
majority of them will be going to island school after year six. I think that it
would very effective, as they get a feel and idea how life at island school is
also like which would generate interest in the video.
Camerashots&equiptment
PARALLEL MONTAGE




I do not think I will use this type of shot because it is rather comical which
means it is irrelevant to the video as the video is meant to be serious.
Camerashots&equiptment
BACKGROUND




I think I will use a background (if not for the full video, but for part of it) but since I
will be interviewing the teacher in a room I would use green screen (which will be
explained later). I think this is a way to increase the level of technical skills as well
as making it more interesting to students, therefore they will pay attention to the
video and the message will be delivered to students.
Camerashots&equiptment
FOREGROUND




The teacher being interviewed will be the foreground and the background will be
from the green screen. So I will use this type of shot as I find it is engaging and just
looks more appealing as evidenced in the example above.
Mise en Scene, Technical Equipment
             and Sound
To effectively film the video, there needs to be
  props, good lighting, audible sound, music and
  other components to take in. If the
  combination of the mise en scene, technical
  equipment and sounds is poor then the video
  will be poor therefore the main message of
  the video will not be delivered. The latter
  means the project will not have any fitness for
  purpose.

GOOD LIGHTING
Good lighting helps to produce dramatic effects. Different lighting approaches help achieve different
   goals.

Lighting affects perception as it is able to create a certain mood as lights can be dim which could either
    imply sadness, anger and generally negativity while brighter lights generally create a positive mood.

Good lighting also helps to make the movie watchable and if not present, the video will not be so easy
   to watch and the main message of the video will not be delivered. Lighting is used to emphasize
   camera shots , certain angles, visual features, costumes and body language.

I think that I would use bright lighting. I still am unsure on if the lights will be colourful or not; I will test
     to see if colourful lights go better with the background the green screen generates or if colourless
     lights go better with it.

The lower drama studio has a variety of different types of professional lighting so it is available for me to
Camerashots&equiptment
DOLLY
I do not think that I will use a dolly as I do not
   need to create a sense of movement while
   interviewing the teachers and practically I
   would not have apparatus to use one.
Camerashots&equiptment
PROPS
I do not think I need a lot of props however I do
   require a chair for the teachers to sit while
   they are being interviewed. The chair would
   be affective as it would enable close up shots
   which I find effective.

SOUND
I will definitely use sound in the video as the
   teachers are talking. I do not think I will use
   sound effects as it is not relevant and is
   disruptive. I may use a voice over, maybe
   towards the beginning of the video during the
   establishing shot of Island School as I feel it is
   effective as there is a narrator. I think I will
   also put music as it brightens the video ( a 3
   video is boring when there is only talking) and
   it also sets a tone for the video.
FILMING APPARATUS
It is important to have filming apparatus which
   will help to make the video have the clearest
   and best quality it can. Some equipment are
   essential and some are not.
TRIPOD
Tripods are very beneficial when it comes to
  filming. Tripods can help compose the shot
  perfectly, this is because the cinematographer
  sets in advance where he wants the camera to
  be. Using a tripod helps reduce motion blur
  therefore increasing the sharpness.
  Generally, when one holds a video camera
  they tend to shake which is not very clear to
  watch, so a tripod will keep the camera in
  place.
VIDEO CAMERA
To make a video, a video camera is needed! I am
  not going to use my laptop to record the video
  as it wont enable me to use different angle
  shots and it wont be as clear as a video
  camera. A video camera definitely produces
  the best quality for a video.
EXTERNAL MICROPHONES
Even if you record yourself through a video
  camera, your voice will appear to be faint.
  So, using external microphones mean a clear
  and loud voice (audible) which enables the
  message of the video to be delivered to all the
  audiences.
GREEN SCREEN
Since image sensors in digital cameras are sensitive
  to the colour green, this is why the colour of the
  screen is used more often in the background if
  compared with any other colour. It is when the
  green colour from one image is removed and
  made transparent, which reveals another image
  behind it (which can be computer generated). It is
  commonly used for weather forecasts, (where
  the presenter appears to be standing in front of a
  large weather map, but in the studio it is actually
  a large green background). This technique is also
  used in Hollywood movies as special effects.
Green Screen
Apples Mac has a similar effect to green screen.




You can see that the quality of the ‘green screen’ effect is not very clear on the Mac,
therefore I will use the green screen the school has as it is a proper green screen
therefore would give a better outcome.
This is a professional green screen outcome, you can see the image is clearer than
the Mac one. The green screen at Island School is of a similar quality therefore
hopefully in the video the outcome should be similar to this.
