Cinematography Development

For cinematography development, we were given a list of shots to demonstrate a good knowledge of the different basic shot types and editing techniques which we may use in our media product.

The shots were as follows:

• Pan
• Dolly
• Tilt
• Handheld
• High angle
• Low angle
• Establishing shot
• Close-up
• Extreme close-up
• Pull focus
• Shot-reverse-shot
• Match on action
• Graphic match
• Eyeline match
• POV
• Cut away
• Montage

.

I used variety of clips from different video shoots to demonstrate each of the cinematography techniques listed above, and presented them in a 3 minute long video, shown below.

. A while ago I also made a video with my cousin when she came to visit, the purpose of it being to test out a profile on my camera that would make colour grading easier. This video (below) is another example of cinematography development, showing a number of the above listed techniques (pull focus, pan, tilt, handheld, POV, etc.) as well as testing colour correction on Final Cut Pro and the capabilities of my camera and how any recorded footage could potentially look. .
