So far, we have planned, filmed and just begun editing our opening to the new thriller. At the beginning of last week's lessons, Mr Wheatley offered some advice on how to construct an effective opening and how to use the camera.
1. Do not push tape in
2. Steady shot on tripod to prevent wobbliness
3. Make sure lens are clean, and wipe with cloth
4. Don’t point at sunshine
5. If doing a pan, allow enough space
6. Set it to Slow play- SP
7. Set exposure to manual
8. When you hit record wait five seconds to film
9. Set white balance up correctly
10. Zoom in a bit, set focus, gradually make BG blur, closer FG and BG are together the more you need to zoom in
I feel that this has been useful to me because now I am aware of some of the hazards to be careful of and have learnt something new for example the abbrieviations of SP and how to set the white balance
