TIPS FOR BETTER HOME MOVIES
•
Knowledgeable use of a few basic
techniques is what distinguishes pro¬
fessional moviemakers. The following
are some simple suggestions designed
to help you improve your own home
movies. With just a little practice,
you can increase your pleasure in
creating movies. And your audiences
will get more pleasure from seeing
your efforts, too.
Hold the Camera Level;
Hold the camera level with respect to
the horizon when shooting. A tilted
horizon line can disturb the overall
effect when projected on a screen.
Hold the Camera Steady:
Practice holding the camera steady.
Camera
movement
is
the
worst
enemy of sharpness and results in
bouncy,
amateurish-looking
films.
For critical shooting at close range, it
would be wise to mount the camera
on a tripod or other firm support.
Hold Your Shots Long Enough:
Avoid short bursts, Make each shot
at least seven seconds long and use
longer shots for interesting action.
Shoot "Reaction" Shots;
While you are filming a race, football
game or other event, shoot close-ups
of the spectators' faces as they react
to peaks of action. Splice these into
the main footage and they will add
drama and human interest to your
film.
When Shooting From a Car:
Set the
lens at wideangle, shoot
preferably at 24 fps and point the
camera no more than 45 degrees
away from the direction in which the
car is traveling. This will help to
smooth out bumps and prevent blur.
Shooting directly across the direction
of travel will cause an unpleasant
blurry appearance.
