STAY SAFE AND OBSERVE SET ETIQUETTE POST-PRODUCTION (2 guides) EXHIBITION AND DISTRIBUTION (2 guides) PRODUCTION MASTER THE CAMERA Master the camera (camera shots, angles and movements) Top Tip Before you begin making your film, have a play with your camera: try to film something! A simple, silent (no dialogue) scene where somebody walks into the shot, does something and then leaves is perfect. Once you’ve shot your first film, watch it. What do you like/dislike about it? Save this first attempt. We’ll be asking you to return to it later. (If you have already done this and saved your films, you don’t need to do this again.) Professional filmmakers divide scenes into shots. They set up their camera and frame the first shot, film the action and then stop recording. This process is repeated for each new shot until the scene is completed. The clips are then put together in the edit to make one continuous scene. Whatever equipment you work with, if you use professional techniques, you can produce quality films that look cinematic. The table below gives a description of the main shots, angles and movements used by professional filmmakers. An explanation of the effects they create and the information they can give the audience is also included.

Beginners Guide to Video - JMBS
Beginners Guide to Video - JMBS This guide is intended for anyone who wishes to use a video camera for news gathering or documentary work. Although it is written for the complete novice there should also be something here for the more experienced. Camera Technique Books have been dedicated to this but there are a few things that are very useful to consider. • The most reliable way of getting good shots is to turn the lens to as wide an angle as possible and get as close to the subject/action as possible. • Treat the camera as if it were a stills camera. Avoid panning(left/right), tilting(up/down) and zooming unless it is absolutely necessary. Simple shots are best and they are easier to pull off. • Use a tripod or monopod wherever possible and if not try to find something to lean against. • If you have to change the camera angle do it as slowly (and smoothly) as possible. It is much better to have something briefly out of shot than to be continually/rapidly changing the camera angle. Ideally it should be done so slowly that the audience does not notice. • If you are panning over a long distance or following quick moving action generally speaking things should be in shot for at least five seconds. • When shooting without a tripod bear in mind the wider the angle you are shooting the steadier the shot. If possible move in closer rather than zooming in. To help steady the camera push the eyepiece to your eye and press your elbows against the bottom of your ribs.

Videography Terminology Continuity
Videography Terminology Continuity This is an important concept to keep in mind during recording of video/audio and later in post-production. Continuity means that if something is in one position or state-of-being in one shot, it needs to be the same way in the next shot unless it has purposely been changed for storytelling purposes. Some examples of lack of continuity are changes in a subject’s clothing, hair style, body position, or position of objects on the set between two shots that are supposed to be occurring within the same time frame. Another example is when in one shot a subject is traveling in one direction, but in the next shot the movement is in the opposite direction. Continuity changes can also occur with audio if scenes are shot in different locations or at different times but are supposed to be occurring in the same location. Framing Your Shot Rule of thirds: Divide the image in the viewfinder into horizontal and vertical thirds like placing a tic-tac-toe grid over it. Place a key part of the image on one of the intersecting points. This keeps the picture interesting and creates a pleasingly balanced image. Head room: The space between the top of the head and the upper edge of the picture or television screen. Breathing room: The space in front of a person’s face when recorded in profile. Classroom Video Production: Videography Terminology © KET 2015 1 Lead room: The space in front of a moving object or person. Types of Shots Wide shot (WS): A shot taken from a distance to show a landscape, building, or large crowd, such as the view of New York City from the Ellis Island.

Film Analysis
Film Analysis I Shots Extreme long shot (ELS) / panoramic shot (Panoramaeinstellung): The camera is far away from the subject, emphasising the surroundings (Umgebung) e.g. a tiny group of riders in a vast landscape in a western. Long shot (LS) (Totale): A human usually takes up less than half the height of the frame (Bild), often used to show the setting of a scene. Medium shot (MS) (Halbnah): The subject and the surroundings have about equal importance. The picture shows e.g. the upper body of a person. Close-up (CU) (Großaufnahme): The subject fills most of the frame (e.g. the entire head) and little of the surroundings is shown. Close-ups are often used to show a character’s feelings. Extreme close-up (ECU) (Detailaufnahme): For example only the eyes or a certain object (like a knife or a gun) are shown. Establishing shot (Anfangseinstellung): Usually a long shot or an extreme long shot, which “estab lishes”, i.e. shows the setting (Schauplatz) often at the beginning of a film. POV shot (point-of-view) (subjektive Kamera): The camera adopts (übernehmen) the per spective of a character. We see what a character sees and therefore often identify with him/her. Reaction shot: Someone’s face reacting to an event, for example when a villain (Bösewicht) comes into a saloon. Before we see him we see the fearful expression on the faces of some of the guests. Camera Positions Top shot: The camera looks down at a 90° angle, you can see only head and shoulders of a person.

Deposit Guide Contact: email ON THE MEANING OF A CUT: TOWARDS A THEORY OF EDITING Bartłomiej Dziadosz A dissertation submitted to the Department of English and Humanities in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Birkbeck, University of London October 2018 Abstract I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own and the work of other persons is appropriately acknowledged. This thesis looks at a variety of discourses about film editing in order to explore the possibility, on the one hand, of drawing connections between them, and on the other, of addressing some of their problematic aspects. Some forms of fragmentation existed from the very beginnings of the history of the moving image, and the thesis argues that forms of editorial control were executed by early exhibitors, film pioneers, writers, and directors, as well as by a fully- fledged film editor. This historical reconstruction of how the profession of editor evolved sheds light on the specific aspects of their work. Following on from that, it is proposed that models of editing fall under two broad paradigms: of montage and continuity.

With digital technology, images no longer bear witness to reality in the same way envisioned by theorists such as Andre Bazin, and a new model of spectatorship must follow this loss of indexicality. The digital rotoscoping technique employed in Richard Linklater's /Waking Life/demonstrates this split between reality and image, in part by preserving the real beneath an entirely created artistic surface. Keywords: digital; realism; spectatorship.

Film Terms 1
Film Terms 1 Film Terms Cutaway - A shot, usually a closeup of some detail, or landscape, that is used break up a matching action sequence, and is often very helpful in editing to rescue you from an impossible break in continuity or coverage. A cutaway, as the name implies, is a shot that does not focus on some detail of the shot before or after it but cuts away from the action at hand, unlike an Insert Shot . However, the two terms are sometimes used vaguely or interchangeably, although this is not always a useful practice. The best cutaways are the ones that have some logic to them, that relate to the scene. Dissolve - A transition between two shots, where one shot fades away and simultaneously another shot fades in. Dissolves are done at the lab in the printing phase, but prepared by the negative cutter, who cuts in an overlap of the two shots into the A&B rolls. Labs will only do dissolves in fixed amounts, such as 24 frames, 48 frames, etc. Dolly Shot - A dolly shot is one where the camera is placed on a dolly and is moved while filmming. Also known as a tracking shot. Edit - 1.: The cutting and arranging of shots. 2.: In the different stages, or at the completion of editing the edited film itself can be referred to as “the cut” or “the edit.” Fade - A transition from a shot to black where the image gradually becomes darker is a Fade Out ; or from black where the image gradually becomes brighter is a Fade In .

Camera Angles and Definitions
Camera Angles and Definitions Framing What’s included and excluded in an individual shot. Extreme wide shot A shot in which figures appear small in the landscape. Often used at the beginning of a film or sequence as an ‘establishing shot’ to show where the action is taking place. Can also be used to make a person appear isolated or small. Wide Shot A shot in which a figure can be seen from head to toe. (tighter than an extreme wide shot) Mid Shot Shows the figure from approximately head to waist. In a mid shot, you can easily recognize an individual but you can also see what they are doing with their hands. Close-up Head and shoulders, enabling you to easily see facial expressions, which gives the audience a better impression of what your characters are thinking and feeling. Extreme close-up From just above the eyebrows to just below the mouth, or even closer: used to emphasize facial expression or to make the subject appear threatening. Over-the-Shoulder Shot A shot in which we see a character or main object over another’s shoulder, often used in interviews or dialogues. Depth of field - This refers to how much of the shot seems to be in focus, in front of and behind the subject. Two Shot Any shot with two people in it. (not necessarily the same person twice as pictured here, unless part of the plot) Point of view shot - A shot from a character’s point of view Reaction shot - A shot showing a character’s expression as they react to something Wide-angle shot (taken with a wide-angle lens) - This has the effect of seeming to exaggerate perspective.

Glossary Terms Aspect Ratio
Glossary Terms Aspect Ratio - The proportions of the frame. In NTSC video, 1.33 to 1 or 4:3 (or 720 x 540 pixels). HD is 1.78:1 or 16:9. In 35mm the image is 1.85:1 in the U.S. and 1.66:1 in Europe. Backlighting - Illumination cast onto the figures in a scene from the side opposite the camera, usually creating a thin outline of light around the figures’ edge. Camera Angle - The position of the frame in relation to the subject it shows: above it, looking down (a high angle); horizontal, on the same level (a straight-on angle); looking up (a low angle). Camera Tape - Cloth tape specifically for use on film/video shoots, much like gaffer’s tape. Camera tape is typically 1 inch wide and white so that it can be used together with a sharpie for labeling magazines with the emulsion type and camera roll number. It is valid to use the terms gaffer’s tape and camera tape interchangeably (they are both really the same type of tape) depending on how the tape is being used. It is designed not to leave a sticky residue behind on the camera. Clamp Light - A type of lighting fixture designed to hold a screw-in light bulb, with a not- so-dependable spring clamp for mounting on the side of an open door, etc. Often includes an aluminum reflector dish as well. These can be purchased at any hardware store, and are relatively inexpensive. Close-up - A framing in which the scale of the object shown is relatively large.
