During a class activity, I watched a video on handy tips for framing. This was very helpful in preparing for the filming to come, as it gave me an idea of how the different shots will be framed in the locations. As there were over 10 tips, I felt it was best to whittle it down to the most important ones that I want to share with you all. Most of the tips I heard are ones that I already knew from previous filming preparation, however it was nice to get a refresh.
So let the countdown commence:
5) Have actors walk in and out of the frame - this will help when it comes to editing!
4) Generally shoot at eye level but you can experiment with high and low angles to illustrate the status of a character.
3) Avoid zooming!!! This will disorientate your audience and give anyone watching your film a headache.
2) From previous coursework feedback, it is generally found that students never use enough close-up and extreme close-up shots. Remember you can never use enough of them!!
1) And finally, there should never ever be any head space!!!!
I hope these tips help you, as well as it helped me before being the filming!
