Important things to consider when filming

Main Considerations:-

Mise-en-scene

• Attire.


• People getting in the way of the shots when filming


• Environment: if we are filming horror, we don't want a seemingly bright environment unless it is needed for particular shots


• Pathetic Fallacy if possible

Camera

• Camera Angles: high, low


• Camera movement: panning & tracking, zooming.


• Rule of Thirds


• 180 degree rule


• lighting: probably low key if we are filming horror. Natural lighting when outside, so it is important to film during the day.


• Establishing shots

Editing

• Continuity


• Title


• Effects we may want to use: fade, wipe etc.


• Making sure the sound matches the cutting.


• timing of each shot

Sound

• Synchronicity and asynchronicity


• Diagetic and non-diagetic sounds (may need to obtain non-diagetic sounds from CD's or the internet)


• Sound Bridges


• Non-diagetic music needed over trailer.
