Camera Technique, Examples.

Single Camera Techniques – each shot and angle is all captured on the same camera. But each shot has to be filmed in order to correspond with other shots so these are arranged during editing. In film production a single camera setup is very common unlike television which is usually multiple cameras.

Panning – this is where the camera rotates in a horizontal plane of a still camera or video camera. Resulting in a motion similar to that of someone shaking their head.

Misc-en-Scene – the word itself means “put in the scene”. Its everything within the scene, like the arrangement of scenery and properties to represent the place where a movie is set.

Extreme Close-up – a film or television shot in which the subject is tightly framed and shown at a relatively large, intimate, scale.

Medium Shot – a medium shot is a camera angle shot from a medium distance, from the subject.

Long Shot – subjects or characters are at some distance from the camera.

Establishing Shot – a panoramic view of an exterior location photographed from a considerable distance.

Parallel Editing – editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occuring in different places usuallt simultaniously. the two actions are therefore linked.

Reverse Shot – a shot from the opposite side of the subject. in a dialogue scene, a shot of the second participant.

Linear and non-linear Editing – a story line that runs start to end in chronological order is called Linear. Whereas non-linear can be made in anyway possible including random orders, flashbacks or flash-forwards. This type of narrative structure can be very effective when making a film, as you may want to reveal the end of the story before you begin to tell the start.

The Meeting Assignment.

We all have to choose a movie and write an explanation and show examples of the film terms, we have been given. Choosing a clip that shows a “Meeting” and then describe it in detail of format, genre and so on.

In a group of three, we have also been given the new task to create our own “The Meeting” piece and we have the flexibility to form our own ideas but have to evolve it around the base of a meeting.

The Meeting Assignment

Judge Dredd Day 7.

I’m currently looking at styles of fonts for my front page. These are a couple of the fonts that I liked the most, I feel that they are all bold and stand out nicely.

This is now my finally front cover design, including the title. I liked this font a lot because I felt it stood out and looked bold but also I felt it works well with my design.

My back cover is the same background to my front page, I thought that this would work well because itwould be sticking with the theme.

Judge Dredd Day 6.

Now I have started to look at colours in which will go with my design of my woman. I’ve settled with the colour grey and the idea of skylines and a blue sky. To start off with I just used the pen tool to create block buildings and then I also shaded them after to give the elision that light is hitting the buildings. Then I got the paint tool and painted the sky a rich blue and then used the ‘Dodge Tool’ and ‘Burn Tool’ to make it look like a sundown and then added stars with a small paint brush and white paint.

Today I have taken one of my drawings and started to use the ‘Dodge Tool’ and ‘Burn Tool’ to create more of a realistic look to my design. I have found this very hard, since you have to locate the lighting and shadowing on the body. It’s also very difficult to make the figure look full and 3D.

I’ve started to make the bum and legs look full and glossy to hopefully almost resemble latex.

Today I have started to look at images on-line that I like, also using one of my sketches. I opened these pictures onto Photoshop and then started to build around the image by using the ‘Pen Tool’; by doing this it enables me to add block colour to a specific bit of the image. By doing this I am now making the image my own, and also giving it more of a cartoon effect.

I found it quite difficult to use this too but I’m not grasping it, as you can see with the progress of each design. Next I would like to be able to add tone and shading by using the ‘Dodge Tool’ and ‘Burn tool’, this will make my designs look more detailed and interesting to the eye.
