This is our first ever video practicing different camera shots. We tried to do a high and low angle, an extreme close up, a close up and a whip pan. This gave us a good idea of what filming is like.

Lighting practice:

3-Point Fill lighting: This type of lighting creates a normal-looking scene with soft shadows and average colours. Using 3-light setup to provide normal lighting across an entire object, the exact opposite of chiaroscuro. This is used in most 'normal' scenes with any object. Chiaroscuro lighting: This lighting is characterised by harsh lighting that creates an extreme contrast between areas of the shot, such as a characters face.

Shot/reverse shot: This is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. As the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other. 180 Degree rule: Two characters in a scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If not this disrupts the scene ...
