Tips and Tricks for framing

So there were a few tips and tricks for framing when filming, so I thought i would share them with you!

  • We need to think about the shot before we film and make sure there is nothing in the background that is not supposed to be there! (Do not want to be surprised by a tripod when editing.)
  • Shooting the same scene repeatedly but using different angles will keep it interesting and give us more to work with during editing.
  • Minimising the amount of movement by using a tripod will make the film look better (unless it's intentional)
  • Shooting cutaways will provide useful in editing.
  • Pan and Tilt in ONE direction only.
  • Do not zoom.
  • Make sure shots are sharp and in focus (you want to be able to use the shots you want in editing, not not be able to use them because they aren't in focus.)
  • Since we'll be shooting on different days continuity is EXTREMELY important. Make sure all costume and scenery is the same.
  • Remember the thirds rule. 
  • Use close up's as they convey emotion the best.
  • No space above the head ever.
FOLLOW ALL OF THIS AND WE'LL BE GOOD TO GO!
