Why journalists now need to be multiplatform reporters, able to shoot video as well as write stories for the web. This slide presentation goes over the basics of videography, shots required, white balance, and framing of interviews
6. Rule #2
Always WHITE BALANCE when
changing locations
the camera needs to reset its white
colour in different light conditions
(daylight, indoor light etc)
14. Medium Shots
More interesting.
Viewer can detect some specific activity
but still not 100% sure what is
happening--this needs your narration to
help explain it better.
Shots last approx 15 sec each
16. Close ups
Even more interesting visually. You now
care about the person/thing being
shown.
Usually introduces an SOT(sound
byte/excerpt of interview)
18. Extreme Close up
Used to show extreme emotion.
Not used in every story but good to
shoot these just in case you need it later
for editing purposes.
20. cutaways
Related to the story but not main action.
Often used as reaction shots to action.
Medium shots and close ups
34. In a stand up…
The reporter gives forward-looking
information, pr summarizes the story,
then does a sign off:
“George Hoff, Observer TV News,
Toronto.”
35. Cautious use of these
Pan left/right -- panoramic --horizontal
Tilt up/down --vertical
Zoom in/out
these shots last a long time --boring to
the viewer -- always shoot some!
