Shooting a "Video Vocabulary" - Part 1

  PART 1:

Students will be "shooting the vocabulary" - that is to say, shooting original video illustrating a number of shots used in video production, namely - these shots:

• The extreme wide shot
• The wide, also known as a long shot
• The full shot
• The medium shot
• The medium close-up shot
• The close-up shot
• The extreme close-up shot
• The establishing shot

SEE THIS SET OF EXAMPLES!

Students will also add samples of the four basic camera movements: Pan, Tilt, Zoom, and Dolly/Truck.  (See Pan, Tilt, Dolly, Zooming)

Students will keep these video clips in a dedicated folder for editing. (The folder should be named something like, "Video Vocabulary" or Vocabulary of Video Shots.")
