White Balance

Two weeks ago we had a lesson about white balnance on a video camera. We learnt this so when the background colours are a little bit too orange or blue you can change it to a natural colour. You can do this by placing a plain white piece of paper in front of the camera lens and changing it in the settings so it is more natural. Also, you can make the background a cooler colour by placing a orange or red coloured paper in front of the lens or by making the background a warmer colour you can place a blue coloured piece of paper in front of the lens.

Tilt shots should be executed smoothly and confidently, without overshooting the final frame. Zoom Shots Zoom shots are good if you get them right and successfully blend them into your directorial style. The way to make the zoom shots really effective and creepy is to make them really smooth and not zooming too fast.  Dutch Angles A Dutch Angle is a shot that is rotated about the camera axis, resulting in tilted verticals.
