Want to learn how good cinematography can elevate your video project to the professional level?
Videomaker has asked a professional video director to share the tips and techniques that an aspiring video director or cinematographer needs to understand in our latest free report: Cinematography Techniques: The Different Types of Shots in Film.
Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling, of using different types of shots to build a compelling world inside your movie. Anyone can set a camera on a tripod and hit record, but the artistry of cinematography comes in controlling what the viewer sees (or doesn’t see) and how the image is presented. Film is a visual medium, and the best-shot films are ones where you can tell what’s going on without hearing any of the dialogue.
This report will show you how you can use effective camera angles and shot variation to make your movie come to life even when your actors aren’t saying a word. We wanted to make sure that we gave you the best info on this important topic, so we made sure to find a real expert in the field. This latest free report from Videomaker is written by an independent video director from Los Angeles.
Tim Heiderich has written and directed Internet video series like Assignment: Unexplained and Rescue 411, as well as one of my personal favorite parodies “Normal Activity.” (Be sure to check it out after you’ve downloaded your report!)
