Camera handling 5th February






On Friday we learnt more about camera handling and Mike went into more detail in describing the different types of equipment you can use to contol a camera as well as the way you hold the camera. For example Mike discussed hand held cameras and the ways in which you hold them, for example arms bent and also to control your positioning of a camera you could lean against a wall.

Other equipment that Mike talked about was the use of the monopod which makes the camera easy to operate and hold. Also the Figrig that is wheel that is used for contol when carrying out close-ups. We also looked at the different styles of filmmaking for example:

  • "Rope" [1948] Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, he made the film like a theatre play and shot on four reels of film all in one take that he could show in four bits in the cinema.
