Tips For Film

Hey Everyone,

We are currently making music videos for song we like in class. For my project, I wanted to do something a bit different so it was more interesting. To do this I chose to use unique cinematography to create interesting visual effects. Part of this is choosing what type of camera angles to use and how you will compose a shot. I found this site as a refresher for myself and thought it might be helpful to any inspiring filmmakers. It outlines how you can create interesting shots and gives some examples. Some shots and angles listed on the site are: extreme long shot, close-up, bird's eye view, eye level view and many more. Check it out!
Below is a video also on camera angles and techniques. Primary it talks about action shots.


One very interesting thing in this video is 'zolly'. This is the effect of using a dolly and zooming in to create an intense moment. I found this video clear and very helpful. I hope this helps as well. Let me know if you learned anything new!
