Introduction to Film

For this section, I have been asked to experiment using film/video cameras. I will be using a flip camera, and a Sony HDV 3CCD. I am going to research and experiment with both if possible, and I have a list of techniques to practice.

Words to consider:

• Reflection
• Line
• Vertical
• Colours
• Scale
• Opposite
• Frame

For each technique or shot, I have to take 3 versions, to ensure I don't have to go back and reshoot if I find one shot isn't well composed. At the beginning and end of each shot, I must let it record for 10 seconds to make sure it is smooth, and if I want to add transitions there is time to put them over the still shot.
