Camera angles, equipment and Adobe premiere pro research

Camera angles:

Long shot are used to show the whole shot, person or object. When we are filming and need to show the entire shot then we can use a long shot to show the viewer everything  going on.

Extreme long shot is where the entire landscape is shown in the shot. This is done because it can focus on the environment or landscape a central character is borne from or finds themselves in. An example of this is showing a character in London from an extreme long shot to show they are lost or isolated from the rest of society as they don't feel like they belong. Using an extreme long shot is great to emphasise on the the background or environment the character is in.

Medium shot the main shot that is used in films. Medium shots are used to show the whole subject of a scene from facial expressions to environment. Medium shots are good to use when shooting a conversation between charters. Additionally medium shots are from waist up.

Close up shot shows the subject of the scene or the action in detail where it dominates the entire scene in order to establish its purpose. Close up shots are good to engage its viewers with the characters emotions. In other words close ups emphasise on the subject rather than the background.

Extreme close up shots are used to show precise detail in a film or scene. An example would be filming the characters eye when crying so the viewers focus becomes the characters emotions. Moreover in a horror film using an extreme close up on the characters eye where they have just seen something would be extremely effective because it makes the scene more dramatic.

In conclusion because I have the knowledge of camera angles when producing our film I will be able to understand where to film from in order to captivate the audience.

Equipment:

The Equipment that is available for us to use is a HD camera. As it i a HD camera its focus on the scene will be good quality meaning we will have good quality videos. Also we are able to carry it with to our proposed locations which means its will be easier for us to film.

We also have a tripod available to use with the camera. The tripod will be really useful because the camera will be still since it will not be hand held. Also if we want a panning shot it will be possible. When we need to move the camera with the action in the scene the tripod will be holding the camera while we film. Meaning the outcome will be good, again as it is not following the action hand held.  

Adobe premiere pro:

We have been told we will be using Adobe premiere pro to edit our footage so far I do not know precisely how to use this software but this will not stop me from producing an excellent opening sequence. I have typed in what is Adobe premiere pro to find out more about the software. The result I got was: Adobe Premiere Pro is a real-time, timeline based proprietary video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications developed by Adobe Systems. As I have already used the software for my preliminary task I feel more confident in using the software. By playing around with the software I'm sure I will become better with the software creating an excellent outcome.

In conclusion I believe the programme we will be using to edit our film  (Adobe premiere pro) will be incredibly useful. In Adobe premiere pro we can add transactions to our footage as well as cut footage we do not need. We can also add music we please as this software allows us to delete the sound attached to footage and add music we want. Thus because we used this software for our preliminary task I have some knowledge on the software.
