Over the next few posts we have been set the task of planning how we will achieve the highest possible marks for various aspects of the mark scheme. One of the sections of construction is how we will keep camera shots steady. Although this is a fairly simple task when using still shots as a tripod can help achieve this, when using a tripod the shot is steady. However when walking or filming a moving shot holding the camera steady is a lot harder, obviously attempts can be made to keep the camera as steady as possible, however without expensive equipment the recording will always have some shakyness.
Example of a stedicam.
A member of our group is considering purchasing a stedicam however as the equipment is expensive we needed to examine alternative methods of keeping the camera steady, many editing programs include an option to "stablilise" the footage, for an example of what this looks like Eric recorded a video with an example of unstabilised and stabilised footage.
We need to make sure that we keep all material appropriate for the task, the task is a film opening for one of three possible pitches. I have looked at many film openings and analysed several by doing this I can hope to get a wider range of knowledge of film openings and this will help me decide whether a certain shot would fit into a film opening or whether it is more suited to later on in a film. Another important way we can keep the material appropriate and relevant is by storyboarding, this can help us plan ahead and make sure that all material links together appropriately.
