Blog 7: Filming technique, camera use.

After some understanding about how to record, camera use, and what do we need to think about when we making a video for example: mise-sene like props and lighting; cenimatography such as camera angles and position of the camera that we have to use to create as closer to the exiting video; A note that will be written down comment about each scene that have been filming. Other than that we also have to consider about the equipment that are needed for filming: Shooting script, so that everyone in the team will follow what type of angle we have to do and where does the scene take place; and a clapperboard that are very important for everyone in filming team including the actors themselves to know which shot and take we're all at and it's also easier when it's time to editing the video. The video that we have to work on is 'Teenage dirt bag', where we have to recreate it. Each scene we will switch position on camera so that everyone will have a hand in using camera. This is a very good experience of how to work in group and how to give everyone responsibility in the position of filming they are in: director, camera man, clapboard holder, and actors.
