Prelim 4: Equipment

Cinematography

Camera

For filming you obviously need a camera but also you need to know how to use it as you open it you have to press live view then record to see on the screen rather than through the eye hole but there is a tiny problem the battery life is not that long.

Tri-pod

For the tripod you need to stretch the legs and extend them to reach the desired height and you can use the side handle to tilt or pan the object attached to it and it is extremely stable but sadly it is stationary.

Shoulder mount

It is used after it is expanded as it is put on the camera man’s shoulder as it contains the camera but it isn’t that stable as it is mainly used for chase sequences or shaky shots but it gets unstable after a while as the person who is using it is going to get tiered after a while.

Gimbal

It’s a stabilizer that you put your camera on and helps with stabilizing for hard shots taken up close but it has a short battery life.

Lighting

LED lights

The lights have different tones warm and cold temperatures for the lighting it is controlled at the back by a control panel that you can use to change the temperature and they are portable but they are man powered and by battery that might die

Sound

Use the Mics and connect them to the recorder

Prelim 1: Editing and Kuleshov Effect

Editing in making a film is essential as editing helps the director create what he had in mind in the first place.
Editing makes a movie meaningful and it gives the movie a plot instead of having a mixture of sticking shots that have no meaning.
kuleshov effect :
Its the use of one closeup shot of a person's face and putting another shot which changes its meaning
if the person is looking at a plushy means that the person is peaceful or a genuinely happy person but if you put it next to a person who destroys a plushy you think that the person is evil or sadistic.

while creating my own kuleshov effect i didn't take a shot that showed us the face of a person who looks at the plushy before it was destroyed  which somehow changed the clip that we took.
I learnt that the kuleshov effect is quite useful as it can help use the same scene with different shots that shows different feeling that the audience can have from them.
