When the frame become a shot
• The frame is the rectangle created by the camera lens
• The frame never remains the same for more than a split second.
• Either the subject of the frame will move
• Monday’s workshop – camera is static, dancers moving
• Or, the camera moves
• Choreography of the camera
• Or, in most cases, both will move.
• Choreography of the camera and the subject

Task 1 – Moving Camera / Single Shot
• Choreograph and film a minute-long continuous shot involving one or more dancers and in which the camera is in constant motion for the duration.
• The camera movement can be the result of panning, tilting and zooming or tracking, strafing, circling etc. and combinations thereof. For flexibility, handhold the camera or carry it on your shoulder.

Task 2 – In-camera montage
• Choreograph and film and video dance made up of the following shots in the order that they appear below:
1. CU, Low, Tilting
2. Birds Eye View, Rolling, Zooming
3. Tracking, Back, MS
4. Pan, WS, Front
• You need to ‘edit in camera’, which means that the shots must be filmed consecutively. You should rehearse each different shot before recording as you only want one take of each shot on tape.
