Online Tutorials- Filming


Today, I found this tutorial called '10 Tips for Beginner Film makers' and there were some key elements of this video that I thought would be useful to apply to our own mindsets when we approach the filming process. The first tip was to have some practice, as we would learn a lot more by doing practical work. This is useful for our group to consider, especially in the way that we approach the preliminary task as this is vital practice which will help to improve our own production in the long term. Another tip was to utilise the amount of resources that are available to us online ,such as YouTube channels and blogs, which are free to use and provide valuable information. One of the most important tips was to spend a lot more time on the planning and preparation of the film, as this will allow our group to be more confident with what we are producing. In addition, one of the last few tips was to not focus on the quality of the camera or the equipment, as the quality of the story is much more important.


I found this video to also be useful, as it goes over lots of different camera shots. This really demonstrates the variety of shots that we could use for our production, and displays the effects that each type of shot can have for the audience. This video would be good to act as something that our group can keep referring back to to improve our production, especially when we are working on our shot list soon.
