O Panning
^ Panning is a method to shoot broad scenes or the whole interior of a
room in one take. It is shot continuously by turning the camera from one
side to the other from a fixed position. It is important to keep the camera
still with a tripod and not to shake it or move it too quickly.
When panning with the camera held with your hands, stand with legs
slightly apart and try to keep them and the hips as still as possible. Only
the upper part of the body should turn. The movement tends to quicken,
so it is better to use a higher fps.
Finish by taking a little more time on important scenes, keep the panning
speed constant and avoid making it too broad. These are impoaant facts
for skillful panning.
It is also very interesting to combine panning with zooming.
Q Tilting
•* Panning consists in turning the camera from one side to the other. A
similar movement upward or downward is called tilting. Shooting from
above is called tilt-down and from below it is called tilt-up.
A Title Shooting
~ The Canon Auto Zoom 1014 Electronic easily enables you to shoot
close-ups and do copy work with the macro mechanism. Use them for
shooting titles. If animation shooting and single-frame shooting are used,
you will be able to make professional-looking titles.
Do not limit yourself to splicing the developed films and projecting them.
This will reduce the fun of watching your own story. Titles are necessary
to clarify the object of the movie, and will help the audience to understand
and enjoy the film.
There are several kinds of titles: the main title informs the content, the
credit title states the maker, the scene title explains the contents, and the
end title finishes the film. At least use the main title and the end title
always. The credit title may be substituted by shooting the name of the
maker or the initials of the producer together with the main title.
Study and use new ideas for more interesting titles.
It is convenient to use the Copy Stand 4 for title shooting. This serves also
for close-ups, macrophotography and copy work.
