Camera Technique Notes

INTERVIEWING:
• What seven items should you bring with you when you are shooting an interview?
(Clocks Tick Tock Making Heads Pound Loudly)
C Camera
T Tape
T Tripod

M Microphone (About a hang losose symbol away from their mouth)
H Head Phones
P Power Source
L Light






• Shooting into a light source = Light should always be behind the camera. Shooting into a light source causes a SILHOUETTE. (Dark Photo/ A poorly lit shot)

Button to adjust = Back light button or a flash so you don't have a silhouette.


• Where do you want your light source? Light should always be behind the camera.


• On what object should you focus the camera? The nose


• No tripod= Bad


• Date and Time= This is permanately recorded on your tape


• What's the difference between SP/EP? Standard Play on tape Extended Play- will allow you to record more.

• Camera shoots in SP.

• Pre-Roll- 2-3 Seconds before you start your interview, so you don't cut anything they say off, and so you have room to edit.


• Post-Roll- 2-3 Seconds after your interview, so you don't cut off what they say, and have room to edit.


CAMERA SHOTS:

***BACKGROUND:  DYNAMIC: has some depth, not plain.
Interview at least 6-8 feet from the wall

• 1 Shot= Middle of the chest to the head, centered in the frame (Usually above the mic)

• 1 Shot with graphic= Middle of the chest to the head, but panned to the side so you can see the graphic.
