Creative Filming and Editing Tasks

     1) Cloning editing task – tripod and camera must remain still in wide shot. Actor is filmed moving in different parts of the shot. Standing by the board, sitting down. 6 different shots. Go to premiere link on how to edit it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ASBzkL2aRY

     2) Depth of field task –

·       Do a distance little and large shot so that someone looks very small in the background and another very large.

·       Place an object like a cup or a ball down maybe with grass background - place the camera level with the object quite far away and then zoom into it so the object is sharp but the camera is blurred.

·       Place your artist in the background and add various cut out props to the foreground to float around the artist.

3)   Reverse shot – while the artist is singing get them to walk carefully forwards, but to add excitement to the shot add obstacles for jumping over and ball throwing so it can be reversed.

4)    Wheelchair / Tripod – we are going to simulate tracking and dolly shots. Camera on wheelchair film artist moving towards you singing to camera one take 30 seconds.

Tripod shot – raise the front leg of the tripod so the camera is pushed forward on the back legs.

(These next few shots I found inspirational in terms of cinematography to inspire your creativity. Try these at home.)

Preliminary tasks research and planning

Step 1 Choose which production you're going to do and set up a new google slides and call it Prelim task.Label Prelim. In this presentation you will show the step by step progress of your prelim as well as any disasters along the way. So keep a visual diary on your slides for me to see. Fill this in if you haven't yet please. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QEGEvjzzB32Q_OMkLZ0JDwS86hjaEw25jdBHvIy7178/edit

Step 2 Make a step by step google slides from storyboarding and naming shots (or in magazines to CLIFTing your chosen product and preparing your models) to rough filming and outtakes to final product. Find one that you would like to copy and is doable in your surroundings/circumstances - magazine front cover and contents, tv doc 1st minute of the documentary, music video any one minute of video.

Step 3 Have a look at some free editing software on laptop or phone. I know this is not ideal but initially we will just need your footage. Film in landscape don't forget and get the shots, fonts etc as close to the original as possible. Practise a lot! Play original alongside. Here are some music video prelim tasks from last year
