Today we learnt how to use the Video cameras, learnt some of the shots there are, learned about the rule of thirds, and how to set up a tripod.
First thing we did was fetch the cameras and tripod and take them back to class. we then did a starter of looking for three male and three female directors. For the male directors we found Wes craven who directed Scream, Steven Spielberg who directed Jurassic Park, and James Cameron who directed Terminator.
For the Female Directors we found Julie Anne Robinson-who directed The Last Song, Nancy Meyers who directed the Holiday, and Amy Heckerling who directed clueless.
After we did the activity we watched a short film called Soft By Simon Ellis.
After that we had a look at what some of the shots would look like, we looked at extreme wide shots e.g pictures of buildings, Mid shots- waist upwards, close up- someones face, Extreme close up- someones eyes/ mouth.
We learnt how to use the cameras and how to white balance them, zoom, and how to set the headphone and microphone up to the camera. We then went out and attempted to take the shots that I mentioned before. When we came back from the activity we learnt how to open the tripod,how to set the tripod up to the camera and how to collapse the tripod.
