Media practising shooting shots.

 In Media we practiced shooting shots and alongside that we learned some phrases that people use on on a film set. Stand by means that everyone should get ready and the camera operator should get ready to shot. Then the cameraman says standing by to show that he is ready. The director would then so roll camera. This is when the Camera Man starts recording and after he does he will say "rolling". The Director would then say action and then the actors would start to do what they are suppost to do. The director says cut when he wants things to end. We had to take 3 shots in groups to show a simple task. We also went over the 180 degree rule again. It is when there is a line between two things that should not be crossed by the camera or it makes things look reversed. In the group I was in, we took 3 shots. One of the shots was a wide shot of me walking up the stairs. So we set up the camera and the tripod and filmed the shot. The second shot we took was a close up of my hand on the railing as I walked up the stairs. The last shot We took as a shot of my feet as I was walking up the stairs, these two shots were filmed together to show the simple task of me walking up the stairs. We took another few shots after. The shots were of carl getting the camera case putting something inside, then closing ait and carrying it away. We took two shots of that. One of the shots was a close up of his hands when putting the item in and closing the case. Another shot was a mid shot of him walking over to the case and putting the item in and carrying the case and walking away.
