Camera Angle Positions for Performance Video

Camera Angle Positions for Performance Video

This is a plan of the first location I will be filming in which is my bedroom. There will be a mixture of long shots, mid shots and close ups taken of the performer and the majority of which will be taken on the bed where she will be acting with the magazine. For this the camera needs to be positioned near to and at the end of the bed so as to capture her angry expressions and to capture her actions. For the second part of filming within my bedroom I will be taking long shots of her throwing the magazine and a cushion in anger. For this the camera will need to be at the back of the room so as to get the effect of the long shot in front of the bed and to capture her actions.

This is a plan of the second location that I will be filming in. The majority of the shots that will be taken are tracking shots, close up shots, mid shots, long shots and panning shots. The first group of shots will be taken at the front of the hall against the white backdrop so that we can use the lights within the hall. These shots will consist of a tracking shot, close up shots, mid shots and long shots. The camera will be positioned according to the type of shot to capture her facial expressions and actions. The next group of shots will be taken at the back of the hall so that we can use the spotlight. The shots will consist of a panning shot, close up shots, mid shots and long shots. The camera will be positioned appropriately according to the type of shot I will be filming. The panning shot will be taken at the same distance away from the performer constantly as I film a the 180 degrees panning shot.
