We were told that the movement listed as "Roll" is actually a Dutch Angle, this was actually the only one I hadn't heard off, however I could see this being very effective in music videos with a performance from the band, giving a different view and with a steadicam attached moving in and out I feel this would be really effective.
After doing this, we were sent into groups and given all the different camera equipment that we have available at University. I teamed up with Jemma and we went and used the Jib first. We found this was very time consuming and took a long time to set. However, this is worth it with the effect it can give and the shots we can get from it. We found it's really good for shots of actors walking away and gives a good effect. As well, I thought this would be ideal for establishing shots as well for my adaptation for outside shots. We were told we were just experimenting with the equipment today. We moved over and starting using the Panasonic cameras as hand held and then over to the track to get a final shot. I tried to put together a walking sequence just to show the different techniques we have as options and also to see what would and wouldn't work. Below is the edit I put together:
After doing this, Mike gave us the task of creating a 2-3 minute sequence following one of the following themes:
1. Fear
2. Hope
3. Despair
4. Joy
I've always loved writing horror scripts and love the idea of creating a short sequence based on fear. I like the idea of having shaky footage mixed in with fast cuts and changes to give this idea of fear and horror. I've decided to try and do it on this but more than likely I'll go with only a few different techniques rather than all of them. I'm think of using:
- Steadicam
- Tripod (pans and tilts)
- Shoulder rig
I also want to try and make this without any dialogue, as to increase the fear side with sound effects and audio.
