Production

Before this we took design a brainstorm of what we needed

For production, we traveled to the location, set up our equipment however before we started recorded we did the following:

• Sound Check
• Took shots of the location.
• Lighting check

We then realized that it was pretty dark, due to a light bulb blowing up. So we grabbed a lamp and shone it where we needed to.

After this we took multiple shots whilst we was filming  to show how we worked the camera, however we first had to look at different ways to film.

We used the previous research to determine what we needed to do, also our storyboards and the shot list helped us out.

We have chosen to use pan a fair amount in our film, this is so that we can get a good variety of shots to allow us to match edit them into a logical sequence.

Pan

Panning is a camera movement technique.

Panning involves moving the camera from left to right. This technique allows us to track and an object or follow any type of movement. However this can turn out quite jerky. 

It is recommended that you use a tripod as this is fairly difficult to do by hand.

The tripod head is the part that moves up, down, left and right. Some tripods are better than others. You'll need one which can be secured, this is so if you want to stop all movement you can. It must also have the capability to be loosened so you can move your camera around with as little shake as possible.[4]

Tilt

The tilt shot like the pan shot, but instead of moving left to right it moves up and down.

Similar to the pan shot the tilt shot can be done either handheld or with a tripod with a good head. It is recommend that you use a tripod for a tilt shot.

Tilt shots are used to show the vertical significance of something. for example if you wanted to show the height of the grape and olive tower from a close distance this could be achieved by using a tilt shot. You would start at the bottom or top, and slowly make your way. Be aware of how fast you move the camera as you don't want it to shake.[3]

Zoom

A zoom is a not technically a camera move, as you do not need to move the camera to perform it. Zooming is when you alter the length of the lens giving an illusion that you are either moving closer or further away from the action.

The effect is note quite the same though. Zooming is effectively magnifying a part of the image, while move the camera creates a difference in perspective. Background objects appear to change in relation to foreground objects. This sometimes used for creative effect in the dolly zoom.

Zooming is an easy-to-use but hard-to-get-right feature of most cameras. It is the most misused of all camera functions.[2]
