FILMING REMINDERS / TIPS
• Be prepared and have a plan before filming.
• Try to shoot scenes in order; this makes it easier for the editor.
• 3 second rule: Press record and wait three seconds before starting the scene. Wait three seconds before stopping record. This ensures that the entire scene is filmed and makes it easier for editing.
• Turn OFF cell phone when near camera. Cell phones may create interference during filming.
• Utilize various camera angles and movements to enhance the visual aspect of the scene.
• Scenes take longer to film than you think. Set aside 1 hour for every 1 minute of film to be safe. If you are using the 30 minutes of work to 1 minute of film ratio, then you will have to be very prepared and very efficient.
• Things may not worked as planned. Always have back-up plans for how/where to film scenes and back-up actors/actresses.
Screenplay1. Slug lines (Scene Headings):
- 3 elements: INT or EXT, Location, Time
2. Action- Lines describing the action of the scene- Always in the PRESENT TENSE
3. Character Names- Above the dialogue - Always in CAPS and centered
4. Dialogue- Follows normal grammar and
capitalization- Always centered
ActingCharacter – shy, confident, geeky, ditzy, emo, hyper, paranoid, about emotions, draw from what you’ve seen from others
Dialogue – tone, volume, choice of vocabulary, accents, project voice, use normal conservational flow (not forced)
Movement – skipping, running, walking, slow-mo, abnormal, block out movements (have a plan), consider where camera is filming from, face towards camera (helps voice projection too), natural for character
Creativity!
