Intro to Cinematography: Rules

Go to Digital Overdrive and log in.

Read through Chapter 6 Intro to Cinematography: Rules of Cinematography.
Take the test at the end of the chapter and email the results to me.

When you have finished this you can go back to viewing the video clips we have for either Halloween or Camp Olympia.

I'd like you to identify some clips that you think would be good to use in a 1 minute long video that would be a good compilation video for our yearbook that covers either event.

When viewing the clips, write down the clip number and then the timecode for the parts you think are effective.

Keep in mind the rules of cinematography as you're viewing them this time.
You can continue this work on Wednesday as you'll probably need more time. We'll move on to editing from here and you will ultimately shoot your own videos on a specific topic. We'll discuss this further on Wednesday.

Write down the clips numbers - the folders they can be found in and the timecodes for each corresponding clip that you think demonstrates a rule of cinematography, or is just something that we could use. Put this list into a word document and place it into the corresponding folder (Olympia or Halloween)
Your word doc should be named BestVidClips_Halloween(orOlympia)_YourName.doc
Saved into either the Halloween or Camp Olympia folders.

At the very least - we're looking for shots that are not shaky, are in focus and decently exposed. If there is camera movement it should be smooth.
