Want to do a short movie with your friends? Here's a small tutorial about movies' directing:
1-Angles:
So there 3 angles of the camera that should be used in a movie:
-Normal angle
the camera and the subject are on the same level) is used for any normal situation and if it's used a lot the spectators will get bored.
-Plunged anglethe camera is higher than the subject) is used for depression, sadness, poverty... or simply to show a wide place.
-Reversed plunged anglethe camera is lower than the subject) is used to show royalty, importance...
2-Plans:
It's about how you take the image of the subject, it could be from head to toe/waist to show a person's or a group of people actions. Any shorter plan would be use to show 1 person's emotions.
3-Camera's Movements:
There are three really cool camera's movements which are:
-Subjective camera: When the camera is a person's eyes simply used to show what the person is seeing.
-Panoramic camera: The camera is fixed but it turns on its place from left to right in a normal situation and from right to left when something unexpected is about to happen. It can turn up-down too.
-Champs/Contre-Champs: Well sorry I only know its name in French but that's not really important. Well it's when two people are talking or looking at each other and you show the spectator one person then the other repetitively.
4-Audio
Audio is as important as the image. You must add extradiegetic music (music that you insert without showing where it comes from) and silence which could mean a lot of things.
These are the basics but there's a lot more so if you're interested into making a long movie that's not enough. Hope you understood everything.
