Camera Direction/ Angles
Students will review camera direction, angles, transitions and key elements via worksheets plan a video project.
Students will review two handouts on camera direction/ angles
Students will discuss a packet entitled: Lights, Camera, Action (The sheets are in your Google Classroom)
Why is it important for students to be aware of camera-subject distance, perhaps before addressing any other aspect of movies and television?
Television is made up of hundreds and thousands of pictures, called shots, each of which must be carefully planned. The long shot, medium shot, and close-up (and many other camera-subject distances such as the medium long shot and extreme close-up) are the basis of editing in movies and on television.
Without these shots, the person who edits the movie, TV show, or commercial would have nothing to work with. Editing, in nearly all cases, is the combining of long shots, medium shots, and close-ups to create an effective visual presentation. Camera-subject distance is the basis for visual editing.
It is essential for students to have a clear understanding of camera-subject distance before they begin to analyze television programs and movies and before they begin to create their own productions on video.
