subject: Objects In The Movie Shots [print this page] Hollywood movies are popular all over the world, and they bring the audience much laughs and exciting moments. Do you want to shoot an exciting movie by yourself? Sure, you may not have great team to work with you, but you can still make a good movie if you have a good movie idea. First of all, you need to know how to shoot a movie scene. A professional video camera for shooting movies is very expensive, but you can rent a Sony HD monitor to shoot different movie scenes. The movie director is a challenging job, so do you want to take a try?
Do rehearsals before the formal performance. Many film directors will ask actors to do rehearsals so that they know what to say and where to stand. What is more, the cameraman will know that and how to shoot the scene. As the film director, you can give directions on actors, actresses or the cameraman to get what you want.
Ensure that your movie has good shot composition. Almost every film director will take use of the rule of thirds which is based on the human eye. As the human eye is constantly trying to balance a frame, you can break a frame into nine individual squares and put different objects into these squares to get the best visual effect. And your movie will get pleasing movie scenes. Do not put any object in the center square, or you will not get a perfect movie sconce. Keep this rule in mind when you arrange background, props and actors in the scene.
As a movie director, you should learn to shoot three basic shots, including the close-up, the medium shot and the long shot. When you want to show the subject from the shoulders up, you should use the close-up shot; if you want to show the subject from the waist up, you should use the medium shot; you can use the long shot to show the entire subject. Different shots can show different scenes and show different feelings to the audience. A great majority of movie scenes will start with a long shot to show the whole subject, and this long shot is called as the master shot. And your camera can move closer from the master shot to other shots. When you have mastered the three basic shots, you can combine these shots as your desire and create pleasing movie scenes.
