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)
Camera
Tape
Tripod
Microphone
Headphones
Power source
Light
• Shooting into a light source = silhouette
Button to adjust = backlight button (takes light from background and dims it)
• Where do you want your light source?
Behind the camera
• On what object should you focus the camera?
the nose
• No tripod=BAD
• Date and Time=never have it!
• What's the difference between SP/EP? SP is the standard play on tape, EP is extended play on tape (SP is better quality, so that's what we use)
• Camera shoots in __SP______________.
• Pre-Roll-rolling the camera 2-3 sconds before you start your interview
• Post-Roll-rolling camera 2-3 second after your interview finishes, so nothing gets cut off
CAMERA SHOTS:
***BACKGROUND: should be dynamic, have some depth, not just plain (6-8 ft away from wall)
• 1 Shot= middle of the chest to above the head
• 1 Shot with graphic= traditional 1 shot with space on the side for a graphic
• 2 Shot= two people framed in a shot (only at beginning or end of the show)
• CU-close up, zoomed in on an object to show fine detail
• MS-medium shot, inbetween a close up and long shot
• LS-long shot, somebody's entire body is framed
• ECU-extreme close up, very much zoomed in on something
• Rule of thirds-vision split into three parts
CAMERA MOVEMENTS:
• Tilt- moving camera up and down
• Pan- moving camera left and right
• Zoom-getting closer and farther away from an object by changing focal length
• Dolly- physically moving the camera, usually on wheels
LIGHTS
• Key- about 45 degree angle on subject, bright main light that lights up subject
• Fill- fills in the shadows
• Back- separates the subject matter from the background, provides depth
MICROPHONES:
• Unidirectional-only picks up audio from one direction
• Omnidirectional-picks up audio from every direction (internal mics on cameras use this)
• Cardiod-are unidirectional, but have a little width around them (most studio mics are this)
• Lav/Lapel Microphone-clips on to a shirt, used in the tv studio a lot
• Boom Microphone- on a pole that can be dropped into an area to pick up sound (usually unidirectional)
