EW - First Filming Lesson

Today we were shown how to use the cameras and tri-pods properly before we went outside and used them for the first time, before this we re-capped on some of the rules of filming, these are:

• Eyeline match
• 180 degree rule
• Rule of thirds
• Intercutting
• Juxtaposition
• Cutting on action
• Reaction shots

While test filming we found that it was very time consuming to get the shot we liked in all of the positions and a finished, 10 second cilp could take 40 seconds of filming, plus moving the camera to each location and refilming the same shot around 4-5 times.
