My live blog notes from the videos we watched in class:
- it doesn't take much to make a movie (camera and subject)
- composition- how you show your audience what you choose to show them.
- comes from the rule of thirds
- rule of thirds helps stick the interesting things at the intersection of the lines. Its a guide.
- the 180 degree rule is put your camera above or below the imaginary line between two people, but not both
- rules were made to be broken, but following rules makes you cool
- the 180 rule made the film look less congested
- went from ones characters left shoulder to the others right shoulder
- basically helps show the viewers that the characters are looking at each other
- in interviews, you should diffuse your light source to flatten your subject. (soft).
- whats in the frame, what the viewers see (misenscene).
- nose room- more space in front of the persons nose
- head room- eye 2/3 of a away in the frame, your head does not need a lot of head room
- use rule of thirds
- don't cut off someones chin
- watch those hands so they aren't popping in and out of the frame all the time (breaking the frame)
- backgrounds are important in defining the subject just like their own words
- be creative
- 3 point lighting set up
- key light (brightest & most important)
- our left and high to create shadows and create shape on the face
- fill light (helps key light)
- adds light to the frame that are in shadow from key light
- back light
- lights the back of the subject
- separates the subject from the background
