pratical workshop 2

 When filming a film there is a known order to film in, usually you will film all the romantic and love scenes first this eliminates the chance of if the actors fell out or got together and broke up the shot would not be a consequence of this. The reason why we always to a wide shot is because its our Marster shot all the action and the location is shown so it is something the editor can always cut back to. This is also really important for if the actor or actress hurts themselves, they always have the shot with everything in so if something were to happen and they were filming a closeup at the time they wouldn't have had the full scene from start to finish so they would Have nothing and wouldn't be able to do the scene again too to the actor actresses' injury.  

for example this is when tom cruise broke his foot during a shoot however they shot it in wide so they still had the shot and they used it in the movie:

The reason that the director and cameraman use standby, standing by roll camera, camera rolling action and cut Is to establish a understanding and by doing the same thing each time they no they aren't going to miss out on shots and forget to press record. This conversation is recognised all around the world and is used all the time the reason that the cameraman says camera rolling before the director says action is to ensure that they have made sure the camera is rolling and that the battery hasn't died or the memory card is full. this ensures that they will have each shot and they don't say action on there's no recording. The reason why you would record a little bit before action and a little bit of after cut is to make sure that the editor has something to work with and just in case something that they want to use is still there accessible to them. 

The reason why it is not really a good idea to watch footage back on set is that usually the actors being around on set will want to look and become self critical and want to do scenes over and over again because they feel like it's a bad shot of them or they haven't done certain things and telling people that they can't see the footage means that they will probably do their best first time and also it's the same for everyone no one will look back and pick things out and have to reshoot all the scenes over and over again. This also takes time out of the shooting schedule and time equals money when it comes to shooting films this concept also probably stems from when you used to shoot with film cameras as it wasn't a possibility to look back at the footage so in the edit they just helps with what they had.  

The 180 degree rule is something that make sure when you are shooting two people talking and having a conversation with each other they stay on the right sides of the screen and don't disorientate the audience by having the cameras in a semi-circle around them on a chosen side and shooting along this line helps you wouldn't understand what direction they're talking in and that they're talking to each other and not just around the room. Without this rule shots would look all over the place and it would be hard for the audience too fully the conversation and the direction in which the actors are talking in.  

Camera composition is a key role in film making is what lays out the short and it's what you see within a shot a commonly used technique is the rule of thirds which is where you are 1/3 in and 2/3 up this technique gives other things to the shop it helps you see not only the person but where they are their location this technique is commonly used for short reverse shots in conversation and when people are just on screen this can be used for anything for objects people ect.
