High Grade Tips
Look to use these terms in order to improve the analysis of your own work.
Considered and capable demonstration of processes – detailed documentation of your
production process – such as still images, and annotated screenshots of your specific
production and editing process – including ‘what’ and ‘why’ and not just ‘how’.
For this learning objective you worked on planning
and production
I chose to research 4 techniques which were the
Dutch angle, panning shot, pull focus and crane shot.
This will help develop my skills in specialism which is
camera work as I will be able to learn and practice
the different techniques which I can further use in my
productions
The Dutch angle is primarily used to disorientate the
audience and make them feel uneasy which would
be used in shots during a tense scene.
The pull focus is used to change the focus of objects
this could be used during dialogue
Crane shot is when the camera moves up and away
from the object this could be used in ending a scene
Panning shot is used to show the audience the set of
the scene this could be used in the beginning of a
scene if it has changed
By analysing the techniques it firstly helped me learn
the use of them where it start and how to actually
achieve the technique so overall just increasing my
knowledge which then I was able to practice
I found it particularly easy to learn the techniques
however being able to produce a good technique
meant doing multiple takes and using the best ones in
order to practice is and become better
I didn’t have any problems other than being too small
to do a crane shot properly.. therefore instead of
panning the shot away from the actor I just stopped
at the top of his head
