Camera Techniques

Notetaking on Camera Techniques

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 from the person's mouth)
H - HEADPHONES
P -  POWER
L - LIGHT SOURCE

• Shooting into a light source = causes a silhouette
Button to adjust = Backlight button or add light to the front by using a flash

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

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

• No tripod= BAD


• Date and Time= Permanently recorded on your tape. Old cameras- had to shut off the stamp or else it would be there.


• What's the difference between SP/EP?
SP - STANDARD PLAY: always shoot in SP, highest quality possible
EP - EXTENDED PLAY: allows to record more but at a reduced quality

• Camera shoots in __SP__.

• Pre-Roll- Let camera roll for 2-3 or 3-5 seconds before you start your interview.


• Post-Roll- Let camera continue to roll 2-3 or 3-5 seconds after the interview so you don't cut off what they say.


CAMERA SHOTS:

***BACKGROUND: Has some depth, not plain
Interviewee is at least 6-8 feet from wall, interviewee is the shot, not a poster

• 1 Shot= Middle of the chest to above the head.

• 1 Shot with graphic= a 1 shot but panned a little bit to the side to leave room for a graphic-- over the shoulder graphic

• 2 Shot= only for the anchors when they're interacting

• CU- Close up, zoomed on a subject to show detail.

• MS- Medium shot, not a close up- half of a person, a little bit of a wider shot

• LS- Long shot, showing the entire body of a person

• ECU- Extreme close up, very zoomed in on the subject

• Rule of thirds- Put the subjects eyes on the rule of thirds, framing shots.


CAMERA MOVEMENTS:
• Tilt- Moving the camera up and down


• Pan- Moving the camera left and right


• Zoom- Changing the focal length. Getting closer or farther away from the subject matter with out moving the camera


• Dolly- Physicially moving the camera but usually on wheels

LIGHTS
• Key- Most important light, the strongest light that does most of the lightning in the shot. 45 degree angle pointed at the subject matter.

• Fill- Fills in the shadows from the other direction. Opposite 45 degree angle from the Key Light.

• Back- Behind the subject. Separates the subject from the background. Opposite the Key Light


MICROPHONES:
• Unidirectional- a shot gun microphone, boom microphone. points in one direction
• Omnidirectional-  takes in sound from all directions
• Cardiod- a version of unidirectional but picks up some sound on the side
• Lav/Lapel Microphone- One you can clip on to your shirt so the person doesn't have to hold the microphone
• Boom Microphone-  microphone that's held on a long pole so you can put it into a scene, unidirectional.

Peer Edits

I peer edited Alyssa Smith and Kelsey Schile's news stories. I left comments on their blogs and used "**" to show where things should be changed.

News Story

With 9 seniors, there is no doubt that the Eastview Girls' Soccer team is full of leaders.  It was a tough decision for a couple players when they realized that the team would be without a goalkeeper this year, but they knew they had what it took to step up.

“I made the decision to become goalie because my coach asked me to and I know he thought it was the best decision for our team. I did it for them.” RACHEL

Having two seniors, Bri MacDonald and Rachel Nault, as goalies, who also play on the field just shows how versatile the soccer team is and how much they care about eachother.

“Senior leadership is very strong this year, especially with Bri and Rachel stepping up.” COURTNEY

There are a lot of tough moments for keepers but they always keep their heads up and know that they are helping the team no matter what. They also get to live in the glory of their wins.

“I enjoy making those awesome game winning saves.” BRI

Both of these girls are impact players in the net. They have positive attitudes and the team is very thankful to have girls willing to do anything for their teammates. They’re on their way to making their season truly unforgettable.

Interview Answers

Courtney Driscoll -
1. The team chemistry this year is really great. We don't really have any cliques, and all of the grades seem to get along well. We spend a lot of time together off the field, which is fun.
2. I feel pretty safe having Bri and Rachel in net. They're playing well and giving it a great effort and that's all we can ask for!
3. Senior leadership is very strong this year, especially with Bri and Rachel stepping up. We all want to have a successful season, so we're doing our best to contribute whatever it is that we can to the team!

Bri MacDonald -
1. I decided to step up to goalie because I was confident in my abilities as a keeper.
2. I enjoy making those awesome game winning saves.
3. I think it differs from field because it feels like a lot more responsibility.

Rachel Nault -
1. I made the decision to become goalie because my coach asked me to and I know he thought it was the best decision for our team. I love our team so I did it for them.
2. I don't enjoy that much about playing goalie other than having a good view of the whole field and the game. My team also supports me a lot.
3. Playing goalie is different because you don't run as much and it's very nerve wracking because if you make a mistake it's a goal for the other team. When you're a field player, if you make a mistake, you don't have to worry as much because there usually is someone to back you up.
