Lecture 5:
-Pre to post production process
—> Pre production: coming up with the scenario, location, time, strategic planning
—> Production: action, camera, shoot, lighting, motion pictures, audio recordings
—> Post production: music, editing
—> Rendering: take all of the editing and audio and render it to a final format
Storyboarding
-Shot list: describes specific shots you're gonna take
-Gives you a shot description: is it a close up
-Visual: what’s happening
-Length: how long it’s gonna be
-Pages
Introducing to the video editing:
Important concepts to remember-
1. Do the preliminary work first - storyboard, source video, audio, images, casting
2. Test first - always! audio level check, video lighting
3. Shoot at highest quality - you can always down sample
4. Know your video codecs and how to convert (mp4, mov, avi, wmv)
5. What is aspect rotation - shoot landscape
6. Recording multiple audio layered tracks in movie maker will require doing so in another
audio editor i.e audacity
7. Lighting is everything!
8. When possible use 3-point lighting
9. Outdoor shoots - when possible shoot just before at dusk or dawn
10. Diversify frame shots, and points of perspective, movement across screen
11. When editing and then rendering your final proxy ;eabe lots of time and took for error - it
takes a while to render
Quick reference camera movement:
Pan - fixed point turning right to left
Tilt - fixed point turning up and down
Dolly zoom - zooms in on the subject but moving camera backwards
Arc - goes around the subject
Zoom - camera is stationary and zooms in
Tracking - moved forwards or backwards
Crabbing - moves sideways
Crane shot - camera is lifted
