Adjustments during shooting
Stand facing the direction
of the final scene.
Place the thumb of your right hand near the
VTR START/STOP switch.
Hold your elbow by your side.
Stand with your feet slightly apart.
Camera posture
If the camera is held rather than secured on the tripod for shooting, the images will feature plenty of movement
but there will be a lack of stability. Hold the camera in such a way as to prevent camera shake.
Camera movements
Basically, the camera should be fixed in position for shooting. If the pan and tilt functions are used, however, the
recording will have more of a sense of movement. Moving the camera horizontally is called “panning”; moving it
perpendicularly is known as “tilting.” In moving the camera, the knack is to move it slowly. Better shots can be
taken by moving the camera very slowly.
Even when a movement has been completed, suspend all movement for a few moments.
Twist your body and
start panning.
Move your body
back slowly.
Stop all movements.
