Neil's Random Video Tip #4: Shoot From a Different Camera Position
Posted by Neil Enns in "ARTICLE" @ 11:00 AM
When you repeat a shot, say to change the distance from the subject (tip 3), change the position of the camera slightly. Move it to the side a bit, or shoot from a lower angle. This will really help cover up jarring jumps when you edit your movie together. If you keep the same camera angle it's nearly impossible to cover up any slight movement of your subject during the editing process.
As with tip 3, now that I've read some books on cinematography, I know this is just a basic activity that any director does by default :)
