Using The Camera


Shot Scene Description
HIGH ANGLE Makes the subject look vulnerable and scared.
LOW ANGLE Makes the subject look powerful and scary.
DUTCH ANGLES Tilting the camera on its side – effective in funky music videos.
REMEMBER! Hold the camera steady. For certain shots(e.g. when you`re zoomed in very close or  executing a tricky camera movement) it`s a good idea to use a tripod.
REMEMBER! Move the camera smoothly when you`re panning across a scene or following action.
REMEMBER! The further you zoom in, the harder it is to keep the shot steady.
REMEMBER! If you zoom out and move closer to the subject, your shot will be steadier and the microphone will pick up the sound better.
