Wednesday's camera workshop

1. Wednesday’s Camera and sound workshop By Lexi Mikhaylova

2. Audio Microphone Handle XLR cable Wind Muff

3. Setting up the Audio • In the workshop we started by setting up the camera. • Then Matt taught us how to set up the audio. • We plugged the XLR cable into Audio 1 and the the other side of the cable into the mic. • Then we put the mic into the handle. • We use the handle as a separation from us and the microphone as it doesn’t impact the sound as much. • Then we put the wind muff over the mic. • If you point the mic at the sound it will pic up the sound better whereas if you just hold it the sound wont be as good.

5. Filming the short scene • We filmed a short scene in which two people walk in shake hands and have a short conversation. • We started by filming a wide shot of two people walking in and having a conversation. • We then did a wide shot of them walking in. • And then a close up of them shaking hands. • We then did over the shoulder shots from both sides. • During this we had to set up the shot each time by moving the tripod, bubbling the tripod, zooming in, focusing and then zooming out to our shot. • We also had to make sure we were following the 180 degree rule and not going to far past them especially on the over shoulder shots.
