Camera Techniques Project
A quick way to tell if a video production is of professional quality or done by an amateur is the use of proper shot composition and camera movement techniques. In this project, you will learn about each type of shot and get practice collecting each one. You will be using the Digital Cameras and Digital Video Cameras we have in class and will be paired up with one of your classmates.After the class has gone over the common shot compositions and camera movements, you will find a partner. Using the cameras, collect an example of each technique we learned in class. The shot compositions can be either a still image or a moving video. To demonstrate the camera movements, video is needed. Create a New Project in Premiere and import your photos and videos from the camera onto your classroom computer. Place one example of each shot list on the list to the right in the same exact order. For each shot, add a Text slide naming it and put a lower third text in on top of the file. Make sure your photo or video is edited to usable video and the frame size fills the screen. Finally, add a background song and a Title slide with you and your partner's names on it to make your video more interesting to the audience.After you have finished your project, save it as a Premiere file with the last names of each group member + technique. Export the file as a h264 (mpeg4) Movie (ex: scalesscalestechnique.mov). Submit the exported video to your period's folder. Don't forget to review the rubric to make sure you are meeting all of the project requirements.
