3 Shot Sequence

For my Television Production class we are working on a three shot sequence for this project. The first shot the key light, is and usually most important light that a photographer, will use in a lighting setup. Then it comes the fill light also shines on the subject, but from a side angle relative to the key and is often placed at a lower position than the key light.

Also the last one is the back light which  shines on the subject from behind, often, but not necessarily to one side or the other.

With the help of one of my classmate and the my teacher teaching us how to do the sequence i was able to create my very own.

Chapter 4 questions

1. List the advantages and disadvantages of using a tripod when shooting television news.     - One advantage for having a tripod is it can be a guaranteed steady shot for what ever you are trying to shoot, but the disadvantage is that it can take a min to setup and you may miss your shot or it could break while having to set it up.
2. What are the most important techniques that can be used to steady the handheld camera? - Some of the steady techniques could be placing the camera on your shoulder to have a good base for the camera, or in a steady position instead of just standing up in one position.
3. Explain the primary considerations that govern panning and zooming. -Panning and Zooming are some of your most important tools. You have to practice self-control when you zoom and pan. Holding your breath is a good technique.
4. Why is it important to establish interactive communication in the field between the photographer and reporter? - It is important because you both have to be on the same page, if you guys not it can really mess up the shot and the sequence of the video.
5. What techniques can be used to avoid the pop cut? - To avoid pop cut make sure your editing is very perfect and no jumping scenes.
