TIPS FOR FILMING

After viewing the previous years final videos, I was able to note aspects which I believed to assist in making the film appear professional but also noticed some aspects which were not so good. Watching these videos was beneficial as it enabled me learn tips on what not to and what to do when it comes too filming. 
  • Use a tripod to keep the shots steady.
  • Make sure sound levels are synchronised with movements etc. By using a microphone, or a similar device.
  • The pace of editing was appropriate for this genre of film.
  • Hand-held cameras - could use 2 cameras to create a homevideo contrast effect.
  • Think carefully about what Institution identity to use, e.g. Working-Title for a British type of film.
  • Consider lighting.
  • Sometimes when creating horror videos, less is more impact.
  • The editing process is extremely important.
  • Rule of thirds is a good technique when filming. 
  • If you are adding titles throughout the film/trailer, think carefully about the words - they could spoil it.
