Online Tutorials for Filming (Planning)

To start off the planning of my production I have taken the decision to seriously look into how I am going to go about filming my trailer. By the time I am due to start filming (in January) I will have my own camera and therefore I am going to use the spare weeks after I've acquired  it to practise the different techniques that I can achieve so that  I am ready and prepared to film the precise scenes that I want. Up until I get my camera I have decided to research and watch YouTube videos and tutorials; I want to ensure that I have the capabilities to make my work to the best standard that it can be. I will carefully select the tutorials that will improve my skills.

I have decided to study how to film nature as the basic concept I have in my mind means there is a strong possibility that I will be filming outdoors. If I am to film a variety of outdoor shots, I think it will be extremely useful if I can get some helpful tips. I am planning to film both night and day shots for my concept and so will be looking at a variety of videos. These will give me the opportunity to develop my skills in this area of filming and help produce new ideas for my work.



Although this video doesn't show the type of scenes or shots I want to create, it gives helpful tips on what to do and what not to do to try and achieve high quality, professional footage.



This short nature film gives me an insight into the possible shot types I can incorporate with nature. It shows a variety of shot types from extreme close-ups, close-ups and medium shots. Also, the smooth continuity of the footage allows me to see the effect it has on making it look professional and well thought out.
