Introduction to the Production Brief

The first lesson involved looking at different types of camera shots that will incorporate in our filming during the rest of the year. We researched them and found photographs of examples of the shots, here is an example of a medium long shot MLS:

We were then given a list of different camera movements that we had to find descriptions of. After looking at the different types of shots it reminded me of films I have seen previously and the great effect a camera shot can have on certain scenes. A movement that is used a lot is panning, this is when the top of the camera, not the tripod, is moving from left to right. Having looking at these different techniques it encouraged me to use them in films that I will be making in the future instead of filming it all the same, e.g. handheld.
