The 3 basic shots are:
Long Shot | LS |
Medium Shot | MS |
Close Up | CU |
In this exercise you are going to get practice taping these 3 basic shots. In your group you will take turns being a shooter or subject (don't be shy). Each group member will capture each of these shots.
When all group members are done, review all shots and determine if any need to be redone. These shots will become the basis of your first editing project. Important note: Don't use the flip-out viewscreen on the minicamera unless you are using a tripod. Using the flip-out viewscreen results in shaky shots. |
