Camera Technique Notes

INTERVIEWING:
• What seven items should you bring with you when you are shooting an interview?
(Clocks Tick Tock Making Heads Pound Loudly)
C - Camera
T - Tape
T - Tripod
M - Microphone (Hang loose symbol away)
H - Headphones
P - Power(Ac adaptor or battery)
L - Lights (Camera light, floor light, natural lighting)

• Shooting into a light source = Shooting into a light source causes a silhouette




Button to adjust = Backlight button or add light to the front


• Where do you want your light source?
 Light should always be behind the camera


• On what object should you focus the camera?
The nose




• No tripod= bad




• Date and Time= This is permanently recorded on your tape




• What's the difference between SP/EP? Standard play and Extended play, going to ep will allow you to record more in lower quality. Always shoot in SP


• Camera shoots in SP, higher quality


• Pre-Roll- 2-3 seconds before you start your interview


• Post-Roll- 2-3 seconds after interview keep recordeing so we dont cut off what they say and have room to edit




CAMERA SHOTS:


***BACKGROUND: Dynamic=has some depth, not plain. Interviewee is at least 6-8 feet from wall, interviewee is the main focus


• 1 Shot= middle of the chest to the head, centered in the frame


• 1 Shot with graphic=middle of chest to head but panned to the side so you can see the graphic


• 2 Shot= only for anchors when they are interacting


• CU- Close up zoomed in on subject to show detail


• MS- Medium shot, not a close up or a long shot


• LS- Long shot, shows persons whole body


• ECU- Extreme close up, very zoomed in


• Rule of thirds- Imaginary lines to help frame the shot




CAMERA MOVEMENTS:
• Tilt- Up and down, tilt it to follow something in the air




• Pan- From left to right, only when following something side to side




• Zoom- getting closer or farther away from the subject, if somethings moving away or getting closer to you




• Dolly- Physically rolling the camera on wheels


LIGHTS
• Key- The strongest light that does most of the lighting, 45 degree angle




• Fill- Fills in the shadows from the other direction, opposite 45 degree angle from the key light




• Back- Light behind the subject, counteracts the key light




MICROPHONES:
• Unidirectional- Taking sound from one direction
• Omnidirectional- Taking sound from all directions, built into camera
• Cardiod- Heart shaped, taking sound from front and a little from the sides
• Lav/Lapel Microphone- Can clip onto shirt
• Boom Microphone- Microphone on long pole, unidirectional
