Over the last three projects we have had to shoot, i feel that i have come a very long way. I now have learnt alot of the technical terms and how and why they are done, and how important they are in order to make a sucessful film. Some of these include, the 180 degree line rule and the 30 degree line rule, match on action, continuity, handles, shot reverse shot, location, costume, make-up, talent, music, titles and range of cinematography.
I have also learnt the different types of shots for example, extreme close-up, close-up, mid-shot, long shot, extreme long shot, point of view, eye-of-God, over the shoulder, tilt-up, tilt-down, dutch tilt and pan.
I have learnt how lighting can change the mood of a locationa and the look of a set.
All of these things are important elements in the making of a film, tv drama, music video etc. They all make up the look and feel of the scene and send out a certain message to the target audience.
