Reflection #1

It is a fantastic kick start of the semester that we could play around the Sony EX3 in the very first tutorial, I have not played with this camera for a long time and obviously was not familiar with this huge toy as last semester Film-TV 2. Back to the tut that was very inspiring about the staging when we were on set, I think it is very important to actors, directors and the crew, especially DOP and lighting, because they would need to adjust all the things on the frame all over again and use different kinds of lighting when the staging has changed. The exercise in the tut is a great practice that we cannot use handheld, tracking, dollying and zooming when we are shooting, to remain the same framing as much as possible that we could only use tilting and panning as the camera movement to maximize the efficiency of staging. Also, in the “lecture”, we have learnt how to shoot a scene in the most efficient way that doing the staging before the shoot to enhance the efficiency of shooting, speed up the shooting progress and shoot more economically.
