WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Basic Shots in Videography!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning basic camera shots is crucial in videography for effective visual storytelling, as shots set the mood, convey emotion, and provide essential context to the audience. Mastering these fundamentals also provides a common visual language for clear communication among a production team, allowing filmmakers to plan their shots more efficiently and translate their creative vision into compelling visuals that guide the viewer's perspective and emotional response to the story.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today you will learn about basic shots in videography, edit and then shoot them yourselves!

BASIC SHOTS PROJECT...

TOTAL: 100 POINTS!!!

DUE: Monday, October 20!

WHAT ARE THE 8 STEPS to SHOOTING VIDEO?

Make sure that you are using some kind of support. Tripod, slider, dolly, jib, glidecam, shoulder mount rig, or the strap around your neck are all possibilities.

Set your Mode dial to M (Manual Mode). Set your SHUTTER SPEED. This should almost always be 1/60.

Set your Gain (ISO) according to the amount of light that you will be shooting in. Bright conditions should be lower numbers, low light will require high numbers. Be careful not to go too high or excessive noise will result. (look at the EXPOSURE METER!)

Set your Iris (aperture). Do this by rotating the Iris dial or changing the setting using the touch screen. Your monitor should now appear to be a proper exposure with detail in the highlights and shadows.

Set your White Balance

White balance: the color temperature at which white objects on film actually look white… its OK to use AWB (Auto White Balance) there is no button on the back of the camera so it becomes difficult to set.

Set your audio levels. You do this by turning the knobs on the video input. You should have headphones on for doing this and/ or, visually look at your VU (Volume Unit) meter. You want your levels to just begin peaking.

Turn on mic….turn on camera, make sure it is recording audio “sound recording"

AUTO….you will see it on the screen

You will need Headphones!

Check to see if you need to add a neutral density filter. If you’re outdoors, you probably do.

Check focus, frame your shot carefully, then press RECORD.

Make sure to grab enough footage of EACH different shot for editing.

When you edit each shot should be no longer than 10 seconds! (total video will be less than 3 minutes!)

Previous Basic Shots (Past students)

If you don't have a BASIC SHOTS folder from a few weeks ago...

RIGHT click on the

Video Project Template_COPY ME folder Select COPY

You can also just select the folder, (don't open it) and on your keyboard press Ctrl + C (Copy)

Now RIGHT click in the white area inside the Videography folder and select PASTE

You can also just click in the white area and on your keyboard press Ctrl + C (Paste)

Did you know when a file or folder 's name is highlighted BLUE you can simply start typing to rename it! (hint: don't press delete!)

Right click the copied folder and select RENAME

Name the folder BASIC SHOTS

Note! This is DIFFERENT from the Basic Shots TRIAL folder!

Now, each team will go out and begin shooting their Basic Shots.

Decide who is the talent (people who will be on screen) and who is the cameraman.

Remember, Wide Shot, Full Shot, Mid Shot, Medium Closeup, Close Up #1, Close up #2 and Extreme Close Up should be the same person in the same spot just at different view points!

After that change positions!

Everyone on the team should try the camera AND talent!

Remember to pay attention to you lighting and exposure!

Cameras should be set to (30 fps) or 1/60 of a second. Aperture and ISO should be adjusted accordingly!

Ideally...

Always make sure your shutter speed is 2x your Frame rate

Example: if youe Frame Rate is 30fps

Shutter Speed should be 1/60 (2x30)

APERTURE/IRIS (indicated with f/Number)

Lens opening which controls exposure and depth of field

Lower Number = Wider open Aperture/Iris

(This means it lets in more light giving a SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD or DOF resulting in a blurry background)

High Number = More closed Aperture/Iris

This means it lets in less light resulting in more of the shot will be in focus.

ISO

Measurement of the sensor's sensitivity

Lower ISO = Preferred...the lower the better!

During the day, outside around 200 or less! (not a rule)

High ISO = Allows more "Light/Sensitivity" but image might start to look more "grainy" (Gain)

Inside try around 800 (not a rule) or compensate with Aperture or Shutter speed to not get gain (that grainy look!)

Teams shooting should be back in class by 2:00 PM to download today's footage!

How to download files from camera to computer!

Insert SD card into reader...

CARD READERS!

Card readers are attached to your computers!

Now...

To remove the disk (without damaging it)

On the SD Card (EOS DIGITAL):

Look on the left hand panel
Right click the SD Card (EOS_DIGITAL)
Select EJECT

Carefully take the card out of the reader!

Make sure your FOOTAGE FOLDER is still open!

If you have the SD card in your hand and the footage files are still seen on your computer you copied them correctly!

Now! Hand the disk to your next team member! EACH (all 5) member of the team MUST download ALL of TODAY'S footage!

If there is an issue, please tell me ASAP!
