DESCRIPTION:
The
Focus 10 Video 1
course sticks to the
fundamentals of good
videography: sharp
focus and consistent
composition, 'clean'
audio, good lighting
and extensive
coverage. The end
result is a stylish
mini movie capturing
the unique
atmosphere of your
wedding, conference,
function and a
superb end result.
This Sydney based
video 1 course
really emphasises
the importance of
time honoured
techniques in
shooting and editing
such as: ensuring
your subject isn't
centred and avoid
cutting off people's
heads as you would
in any photograph.
For shots with
movement, place the
subject in the first
or last third of
your viewfinder to
make the shot
instantly more
interesting. Make
sure you shoot from
differing angles.
Keep your camera
playing after the
action stops ensures
you have enough
"room" to edit.
Think to shoot from
low angles,
understand lens perspective,
when and when not to
zoom, make
conversations and
scenes flow and
avoid gimmicky
transitions.
Shoot
cutaways to ensure
you have something
to drop in the
timeline between
scenes. Add music to
make an instant
impact to your
video. Try ensuring
you have a dramatic
or punchy
introduction and
many many other
great tips to turn
you into a
proficient
Videographer.
