a story? Reason

are

The life we currently live is hard we need to escapeThus storytelling, where the hero and heroine are exalted is a common human need across all cultural back rounds.TV is the same, our hero, the heroine, parent, teachers and friends are there. Only they are there in real time, as

we watc t e act on appen ng n ront o us.Human has the urge, the need, the desire to share a story and esca e to another world.

Conclusion for Part 1So here is the secret, what we see on TV is just story; the story of A C Milan beating Manchester United, but this story is told in real time, this is happening in front of us. Both the narrator and the listener do not know the outcomes. While in the ast the stor teller alread knows the ending.The story of a house burning down, a war taking place in another part

of the world, is also told in a delayed or real time manner. outbreak of famine in Africa.They are all stories be it narrated, written, or visually presented.Thus those among us who can tell a story better get ahead. Those of us

who can analyse a story better can say this is not true and so they are not conned into any action that they do not want to do.Thus the letter BA,MBA, Ph.D. is just us telling others pay attention I ot this letter in front of m name which meant that I can tell a reall

good story or at least a credible one.

More Shot Composition Part III


34/42

The Invisible TechniqueThe Guiding concept was the need to persuade the audience that they were watching continuous action in real time. This required the mechanism of filmmaking to be hidden from the audience, that is to be invincible. The technique places the emphasis on the content of the shot rather than production techniques in order to achieve a seamless flow of ima e directin the viewers attention to the narrative.The Aim of invincible technique is to convince the audience that they are watching a continuous event in real time. This mean we have to do the following

1 shops are structured to allow the audience to understand the space, time and logic of the

action. geography of the action is completely intelligible, that this camera positions on a football match.3 Unobtrusive camera movement and shop change direct the audience to be content of the production rather than the mechanics of film/television production.4 invisible techniques creates the illusion that distinct, separate shops, possibly recorded out of se uence and at different times form art of a continuous event witnessed b the audience

This is

achieved

IUnobstrusive intercutting

Camera movement and motivated by action or dialogueCamera movement synchronise with actionContinuity of performance/lighting/atmosphere and action.


35/42

The alternative techniqueThere are alternative conventions of presentation which intentionally

draw attention to the means of production. The production methods and camera movements are emphasised in order to simulate the realism of the unrehearse shot to remind the audience that they are watching a piece of fiction. For example the Transformers movies.


36/42

CompositionGood visual communications is achieved by good composition. Here is a partial

checklist of the dos and donts of compositionThe camera converts three dimensions into two dimensions Try to compensate for

composition.Avoid dividing the frame into separate area by strong vertical and horizontal

elements unless this is a specific required effect.Checkyour brawl in which particularly background details e.g. no chimney post growing out of four ground subjects head.emphasise the most important element in the frame by its position by controlling of back round/lens an le, hie ht/focus/shot size/movement/etc.

The eyes are the centre of attention in shops faces. A good rule of thumb is to place the one third from the top of frame.


37/42

Composition and the lensesThe composition of the shot is affected by the distance of the camera from the subjects

on the lens angle that its use.Perspective of mass

, . image of an object doubled in size whenever its distance is half. This is a simple fight from geometric optic and it applies to a camera is in custody eyes


38/42

Camera movementMovement of a camera need to have a motivation. In simple terms, a camera will is

usually prompt by either.To add visual interestTo ex ress excitement increased tension all curiositTo provide a new means subject of interestsTo provide a change of viewpoint.

A camera move is therefore a visual development that provides new information or create atmosphere or mood. If the opening and closing frames of a move, such as a zoom, are the only images that are considered important, then it is probably better to use a cut to change shot rather than a camera move.


39/42

The five rules of framing shotsLook at your hand? How many fingers and thumb do they have? Why are they all different sizes? Why are they not the same?Shot number one, is to establish the story. This shots is usually wide. This is called and establishing shots.

, . a person a medium closeup off a person or off a particular location.Shot number three is to establish a closer relationship victory in the audience and the subject. This shot is either a close up of a person or of a particular theme and also can be

an extreme closeup.Shop number four is a reverse shot, or it can be called a point of view shots. This point of view is usually from the subject matter.Shot number five is a closing shop. This shot is to tell the audience that we are moving from its current location or from this current point of view to a different point of view. This shot can be a wide shot a close u of a non active or non alive ob ect. Or it can be a

wide shot

of

an

area.

We

will

demonstrate

all

of

this

shots

in

an

exercise.To recap a story can be told using five shots. This five shots we will use our forefingers

and farm to remind us. To memorise the shot here we go, shot number one is a wide shot, shot number two is a medium shot, shot number three is a closeup, shot number four is

on location

What is the purpose of the shots?Is this shot facts or feeling?Will the image attempt to be factual and objective and allow the viewer is to draw their own conclusions or is it the intention to persuade or create an atmosphere by careful selection?In what contacts will do shot the scene: what precedes what follows?What will be the most important visual elements in the shots?Why has this specific lanterns angle and camera position been chosen:

To emphasise the principal subjects?To provide variations in shot sizes?To ive added rominence to the selected sub ects?To provide more information about the subject?To provide for change of angle/size of shot to allow an unobtrusive intercutting.To allow variety of shots and shot emphasis?To create good shot composition?To favour the a earance of the erformer?To alter the internal space in the shops by changing camera distance and camera lens angles.To alter size relationships in shots?To improve the eyeline?To comply with the lighting rig or natural light?
