Here is a video which I have watched on the website Vimeo in order to gain knowledge on how to add depth to my shots. The video is on Vimeo which is a new concept to me as most people upload to youtube where the video quality tends to not be very good however on vimeo the videos are high picture quality therefore I need to consider in the main task making a vimeo account to showcase my final video as the videos are high quality. I also noticed that this video has writing beneath it and is layed out in a blog style which can be helpful when uploading my final project video. In addition they have more videos about how to film I know this because the man at the beginning talks about the last video they made was on storey boarding therefore I will have to look at that video as I feel it will benefit me.
This video will be a very big help to me predominantly when planning out what shots to use in my video and also how to film it. the video gives me an insight on how to create a film that is visually engaging that has depth to it making a two dimensional image give the illusion of a 3D world. The video goes through the six different ways to add depth to shots in very simple terms as this is a video for beginners like me who have never done video before prior to the A2 Preliminary task. these six are Depth of field, back lightning, foreground elements, perspective, parallax and smoke and haze. I learnt about how to do all six and how it really matters what depth of field your cam,era is at in order to create depth furthermore I learnt how its not just the camera you can use to create depth it is artificial and natural lighting to that can all add to the depth.
Watching this video will benefit me so that when it does come to filming and planning of filming I can refer back to this post and video as it has very useful tips especially as ive never filmed before nor used any of these techniques bar depth of field.
