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

Follow along with your camera.

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.

Introductory Interview

(15 minutes) EILEEN/Adrienne

 

Video Introductions: 

          In your table groups

1. Set up the shot

2. Capture it in one clip. In your clip, consider including some of the following techniques:

- 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. 

 3. Take turns, start recording and ask:  

- What is your name? 

- What do you do at school/work? 

                    - What do you hope to get out of today's session?

4. Stop recording 

5. Replay in the camera 

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

• cut down on editing time
• help you plan for camera shots

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