Shooting the Vocabulary - and Producing a Vocab Video!

CM412 Students will be "shooting the vocabulary" - that is to say, shooting original video illustrating a number of shots used in video production, ranging from the EWS (Extremely Wide Shot) to the ECU (Extreme Close-up), as well as a few B-roll shots like the Noddy Shot, Cut-in, etc.
(Examples can be found here!

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

Students will then make a "Video Vocabulary Examples" piece with titling, music, etc. to illustrate all the techniques and shots. Students will embed their videos in to a blog entry with reflection and discussion of their projects.

BONUS HOT TAKES - Research these two topics and come to class ready to discuss:
  • FINSTA
  • FIK FOK
