FILMING
Camera angels/movement types
- panning/tilting (adjusting the tripod)
- dolly/trucking (using a cart)
- camera and vest (with a vest)
- boom (camera on an "arm")
Easy camera techniques
- use fabric to slide a dolly across the floor
- wax paper for light defuser
- film with the sun out for natural light
- colour correct a dark shot: lift highlights, raise midtones, drop shadows, raise colour saturation
- stabilise shaky footage
- film close to the people to get good audio
- film far away and zoom in to get a blurred background
- add noise filters if the audio has "noise"
- re-record audio if absolutely necessary
- use a whiteboard or something flat and white to reflect white light
