Basic elements:

Coordinating a scene is very much like choreographing a dance move. All participants must rehearse...this includes the production staff.



Establish your shot- Give the audience a big first view so they understand the context of your production. Capture the entire set/ background/ scene.



Camera Angles- see worksheet



The 180 rule- When you are shooting a character, stay to one side of them. If you are filming the right side, do not switch to the left. This will leave your shot awkward and unbalanced.



Eye line match-This is two or more shots. Show your character looking something or pointing to it. Hold this shot for a few seconds, then cut to what they are looking at. Be sure that the second shot is shot from his/ her eye level and angle.



Over the shoulder shots- switch back and forth between your subjects



Action shots- Mike stands on a bench, looks down and jumps. As he begins to jump, cut to a different view.



The Dolly shot- move with your subject. Sometimes it is easier to roll with your subject.
