We discuss what do you learn in film school.
Film Studio
The in school film studio at the University of Regina has three curtain colors: black, tan, and green. This variety of colors allows for varying backgrounds and setting.Film Making Rules
180-degree rule
Keep the camera on the same side of the actors. Imagine a line between two actors, the camera can’t cross that line. You can move anywhere else in the 180-degree semi-circle.30-degree rule
When you cut to the same actor or object the camera has to be moved at least 30 degrees, otherwise the cut is jarring and is similar to a jump cut, which is a mistake in film making.Continuity
Actors, set pieces, and lighting have to be consistent between takes.Actors need to deliver lines, and keep gestures and body language consistent throughout takes. This makes for easier editing.Camera Techniques
Swish Pan
A quick horizontal pan of the camera, which causes a blurring effect, can be used to disorient or to hide a film cut.Follow Shot
Gets you in the action and establishes what the character is going through.You can hide edits with a person or object crossing the cameras path to cause a momentary black screen.This helps with long duration follows, so you don’t have to restart at the beginning on subsequent takes.Mentioned in Episode
