A  tripod  is  a  3-­‐legged  stand  that  is  used  to  hold  an  object  mostly  a  

camera  .  a  tripod  provides  a  stable  downwards  force  .  you  can  adjust  the  legs  to  any  height  you  like

top  of  tripod  at  different  directions  ,  panning  it  vertically  to  horizontally  or  

tilting  it  up  or  down.  

A  disadvantage  of  a  tripod  is  that  tripods  are  heavy  to  be  carrying  around  the  places  when  needed.

Lighting  Equipment    

Lighting    equipment  is  used  to  add  light  to  the  person  being  filmed.this  adds  

brightness  and  tone,  which  gives  a  clearer  view  of  the  person’s  facial  features  .  using  lighting  equipment    gives  an  overall  better  contrast  and  tones.  

Sandbags  Sandbags  are  used  to  hold  and  weight  down  the  tripod  so  its  stable.  It  can  also  help  stabilize  lighting  equipment’s  so  they  don’t  fall  over  and  crash.

Purpose  of  a  camera

Many  people  use  cameras  for  the  fun  of  it  or  because  everyone  owns  one  and  they  feel  like  they  should  fit  with  the  crowd.  But  cameras  are  designed  to  reminisce  moments  you  want  to  remember  whether  they’re  bad  or  good.  The  very  first  camera  that  people  used  only  gave  out  black  and  white  colour  print  puts  where  they  had  to  look  under  a  cloth  and  click  ‘pump’  instead  of  a  button.  There  are  many  cameras’  that  have  been  developed  to  give  better  quality  pictures  ,  film  and  lighting

Camera shots, angles and movements  

Rule  of  thirds

Rule  of    thirds  is  also  known  as  rule  of    thumbs,  which  is  a  process  used  when  filming,painting  or  taking  photos.  Rule  of  thirds  helps  you  centre  what  is    important  in  the  shot  and  it  must  touch  the  4  lines  in  the  middle.!  Following  the  rule  of  thirds  creates    tension  and  interest  in  the  composition.  

180  degree  rule

The  180  degree  rule  is  a  guideline  that  is  used  for  filmmaking  when  on  screen  filming  a  relationship  between  a    character  and  another  character  within  a  scene.  There  is  an  imaginary    line  called  the  axis  that  connects  the  characters  and  by  keeping  the  camera    on!one  side  so  that  the  scene  wont  jump  of  one  end  to  the  other  which  will  cause  confusion  to  the  audiences.  

When  filming,  there  are  many  shots,  angles  and  even    movements  you  can  do/use  to  get  the  best  possible    effect  for  a  photo  or  scene.  Camera  shots    Extreme  close-­‐up:  an  extreme  close  up  is  used  to  show    only  one  detail  of  someone  or  something.  is  used  to  show  the  exact  detail  they  want  to  show  people.For  example,  an  extreme  close  up  of  a  cats  tongue.This  is  to  show  each  detail  of  the  cats  tongue  such  as  the  little  hairs  they  have  to  lick  themselves  clean  with.  Close  up:  similar  to  an  extreme  close  up,  a  close  up  shows  more  than  one  feature  of  the  object  or  person.    This  is  used  to  show  the  audience  the  important    features  such  as  facial  expressions.  

 Mid-­‐shot:  mid-­‐shots  are  used  to  capture  a  head  to  chest  shot.!This!mostly!only!fits!1!or!2!people!in!a!frame!shot!  as!its!not!big!enough!to!fit!more!than!2!people.!  Long-­‐shot:  long  shots  are  the  shot  where  you  capture  the  whole  thing,  a  head  to  toe  shot.This  can  fit  more  2  people  in  one  frame  shot.  

Extreme  long  shot:  extreme  long  shot  is  used  to  film  the    whole  setting/area  of  the  scene.For  example,  an  extreme  long  shot  of  Hollywood.  Camera  angles  High  angle:  high  angle  is  an  angle  where  the    camera  person  is  filming  above  the  person.  This  angle  is    used  to  show  that  the  person  being  filmed  from  (above)    Feels  big  and  dominant.The  opposite  person,  being  looked    down  at,  feels  small  and  feels  insecure.  

Low  angle  :low  angle  shot  is  filmed  from  below  a  person.  This  angle  is  used  to  show  the  person  being  filmed  from  feels  small  and  scared  as  the  looking  up  at  some  one  means  you  feel  down  and  insecure.However  the  person  who  is  looking  down  at  the  other  person  will  feel  the  opposite.  

Camera  movements    

 Panning:  panning  is  one  way  of  moving  the  camera  while  filming.  Panning  involves  the  camera  being  moved  from  side  to  side  (left  to  right  or  right  to  left).  

 Tilting  :tilting  is  moving  the  camera  up  and  down.  

Diagonal  :this  movement  is  used  to  show  the  camera  (person)is  being  interrupted  or!  N  a  dangerous  situation  that  caused  the  camera  to  turn  slightly.This  causes  tension  for  the  audiences.
