Hints for Better Shooting
Three frequently used shots
These three types of shots will bring additional action and movement to your scenes when properly used.
For greatest effect, it is advisable that they not be overused.
[ Panning |—Moving the camera horizontally
For emphasizing the grandeur of a scene, and for including all of the scenery in a single continuous shot.
¢ Hold the camera on the scene for
a few seconds at the
beginning and end of the pan.
e Pan slowly across the scene.
(Stop at about 90°.)
For professional-looking pans
1 First, stand so that you face in the direction where the pan will end.
2 Without moving your feet, rotate your upper boy so that your camera faces the direction where the scene will begin.
3 Start shooting. Rotate your body slowly to the point where the pan will stop.
The best panning speed is one that will allow you to expiain the scene during playback.
Repeated pans of the same scene should be avoided.
If you can hold your breath during panning and zooming, camera shake can be minimized, and you can
concentrate more easily on the scene.
