General Tips to Teach Your Students 

Follow along with your camera.

 

1. Keep it steady. Use a tripod or lean against a desk or wall.

2. Pan slowly.

3. Use digital zoom sparingly; physically moving is better (up to 18 inches).

----------------

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

5. Be conscious of background noise.

6. Don't film against a window or "busy" background.

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

8. Use more than one artificial light source.

9. Wait a few seconds before speaking/action to give room for transitions in your edited movie.****

10. Delete bad shots as you go.

----------------

11. Don't film shots of students from the front without media releases. 

12. Don't identify students by first and last names.

 

Framing Shots

See this 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 Techniques    

          1. Camera height

          5. Rule of thirds
