ABSTRACT

Someone who’s starting off shooting must come into the edit to see what shots they are missing. It can be simple things that they have to pick up on: they might not be holding their shots long enough. Learning to handle a camera is like learning to play the piano: it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of thought, concentration and practice to get it right. The downside, of course, is the high cost of hiring a professional. Along with the kit, filmmakers are also paying their fee, any overtime if their schedule gets knocked off course, and all their travel, hotel and subsistence costs. A vertical movement of the camera in space. So craning up involves the camera rising up the ground. Craning shots can provide very interesting images because physically moving the camera provides a perspective that, with the right framing, emphasizes the difference between objects that are near the camera and those that are further away.
