Opening Activity: LIST ALL PROPS NEEDED FOR YOUR PROJECT
Goal: Students be able to incorporate camera directions and angles into an original production.
Plan:
Students will discuss the following planning and technique tips
Students will choreograph a project
Tips:
HOW TO SHOOT A QUALITY VIDEO:
PLAN -If you plan your shots in advance you'll get your shots more quickly. Directors of big budget films frequently create tight drawing called storyboards of every single shot in their movie before they every start a camera, a process that could take months. However, I will settle for doodles of each shot and camera angle/ change.
Plan...but be ready to improvise, too. It's like singing a song. You don't need to know the whole thing, but don't start without knowing what the tune and first verse are.
KEEP IT SIMPLE:
A good video trick is a short video trick. If your idea takes more that a page to describe, it's probably too long.
ACTING:
You must be believable. If seven books fall on your foot, react in pain. It is essential that your audience believe what your are doing on film.
(Hideous acting can be great only if it is incredibly bad!!)
Basic elements:
Coordinating a scene is very much like choreographing a dance move. All participants must rehearse...this includes the production staff.
Establish your shot- Give the audience a big first view so they understand the context of your production. Capture the entire set/ background/ scene.
Camera Angles- see worksheet
The 180 rule- When you are shooting a character, stay to one side of them. If you are filming the right side, do not switch to the left. This will leave your shot awkward and unbalanced.
Eye line match-This is two or more shots. Show your character looking something or pointing to it. Hold this shot for a few seconds, then cut to what they are looking at. Be sure that the second shot is shot from his/ her eye level and angle.
Over the shoulder shots- switch back and forth between your subjects
Action shots- Mike stands on a bench, looks down and jumps. As he begins to jump, cut to a different view.
The Dolly shot- move with your subject. Sometimes it is easier to roll with your subject.
**Storyboards and SCRIPTS are required and MUST match up to your video. You will only receive 50% of your grade if you cannot provide this element of planning.

The sound effect person must practice too.
Directions for shots:
A. In the middle of a swing, stop the camera and switch to a new point of view, over the shoulder. This way you can use the momentum of the action to carry through the cut. It keeps the action moving)
B. The big trick. Shoot over the shoulder . If the camera man backs away and zooms in, you'll create an illusion that the fighters are much closer than they really are.
C. Camera will be in full zoom 5 to 6 feet away from the subject
Placement: In a fight scene:
-The fighters are always too far apart to actually reach each other. On top of which, everybody knows what is going to happen next...it's practice!
Add sound effects and let's get started!!!!!

Opening Activity:
In your notebooks, comment on the linked news package:
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/earthquake-measured-58-magnitude-rattles-washington-york/story?id=14364643
Write your responses in your notebooks.
Camera Angles/ Movement
Students will identify important visual terms (such as long-shot, close-up, camera angle) that are used on television and in movies and begin to recognize that these angles/ movements affect meaning.
Camera Direction/ Angles
Students will review camera direction, angles, transitions and key elements to planning a video project.
Students will review two handouts on camera direction/ angles
Students will discuss a packet entitled: Lights, Camera, Action
Link: http://www.mediaknowall.com/camangles.html
Why is it important for students to be aware of camera-subject distance, perhaps before addressing any other aspect of movies and television?
Television is made up of hundreds and thousands of pictures, called shots, each of which must be carefully planned. The long shot, medium shot, and close-up (and many other camera-subject distances such as the medium long shot and extreme close-up) are the basis of editing in movies and on television.
Without these shots, the person who edits the movie, TV show, or commercial would have nothing to work with. Editing, in nearly all cases, is the combining of long shots, medium shots, and close-ups to create an effective visual presentation. Camera-subject distance is the basis for visual editing.
It is essential for students to have a clear understanding of camera-subject distance before they begin to analyze television programs and movies and before they begin to create their own productions on video.
Assessment: (Monday, 8/29) Students will be given a quiz on all of the terms and packet
Closure Activity: Now that you have reviewed all angles, what types of camera angles do you see in the linked video? Write your responses in your notebooks
