Tips for Video Recording

(15 minutes) ADRIENNE / Eileen

 

General Tips - Shooting Tips

1. Keep it steady. 

2. Pan slowly.

3. Use digital zoom sparingly; physically moving is better.

4. Use a tripod when available.

5. Microphone is on the camera, stay close to main sound source.

6. Be conscious of background noise.

7. Keep sunlight at the shooter's back; avoid backlight.

8. Use more than one artificial light source.

 

Framing Shots

Excellent Summary of Framing Shots

 

1. Wide angle shots show everything and nothing in particular.

2. Medium and close up lose the background but reveal emotion. 

3. Low angle is looking up at subject like a "hero shot." 

4. High angle is looking down and makes subject look small. 

5. Observe the rule of thirds. 

6. Lead action and movement with open space.

Interview a Neighbor Activity

(15 minutes) ADRIENNE/Eileen

 

Video Introductions: 

Find your matching playing card partner:

1. Switch cameras 

2. Set up the shot - facing each other

3. Capture it in one clip. In your clip, be sure to include some of the following at least once:

- One wide or medium angle shot

- One close up shot 

- Zoom in or move closer

- Pan or action shot

- Bonus shots: low angle, high angle

- Have fun and be creative. 

 4. Take turns, start recording and ask:  

- What is your name? 

- What do you do at school/work? 

- Two truths and a lie about yourself 

5. Stop recording 

6. Replay in the camera 

7. If you don't like what you just captured (and you have time) delete the clip and re-take.

 

Team Up and Share Out: 

1. Teams of two find another team.

2. Share your videos, playback in the camera.

3. Be prepared to have one person share to the whole group.

Why Storyboard? (AFI Video on Storyboarding, jump to 2:30)

Storyboards:

•    allow you to brainstorm ideas

•    help you to efficiently plan your ideas

•    cut down on editing time

•    help you plan for camera shots

 

Storyboards should include notes about:

• Your intended audience and message
• Setting
• Camera directions (wide-angle, close-up, etc.)
• Dialogue/Script
• Timing
• Materials

 

Activity - Storyboard and shoot video to demonstrate an abstract vocabulary word
