Notes From Week 3!

• The NFTS is the best film school
• Work freelance in the early days
• In December, January, and February there is low demand for work, so try to do your own stuff 
• For a scene choose either handheld or tripod - do not switch between, as it confuses the audience
• Remember the safety clip on tripods
• Don't zoom during a shot. Not in post or on the camera, dolly/ tracking only. 
• Iris ~ aperture
• Think about depth of field/ the shot. Front, mid, back layers.
• Gane up ~ quality down. Gane is used when dark, but try not to use it too much
• White balance is important during a shot. 
• Blue/ white light comes from artificial lights, yellow light comes naturally from outside.
• Tracking shots increase production value dramatically. Shoot these types of shots first.
