TIPS FOR BETTER MOVIES
Always hold the camera as steady as possible when taking movies.
Any slight wavering of the camera will be very obvious when your
movies are projected. Use a tripod when possible.
Take picutres with the sun behind you whenever possible. The electric
eye can “read” the scene and set the lens more accurately if this rule
is followed.
“Panning” is the term used when the camera’ is moved horizontally :
or vertically when making movies. This should be done slowly and
carefully to avoid unwanted effects such as jerking movements and
blurring of the picture. When panning scenic pictures, filming in
slow motion (24 f. p. s.)will greatly improve the smoothness of the :
projected pictures.
Plan your movies in advance to add a feeling of continuity to them.
Try filming your movies in a story sequence instead of a series of
unrelated scenes.
