My project concept is to produce an informative/entertaining video about camera movement in Film+TV, styled like YouTubers "Mark Rober", "The Slow Mo Guys" or "Adam Ruins Everything", i.e. interesting information, some seriousness and some amusement. For my target audience, many other videos on camera movement explain "how to" but I want my video to be entertaining for people who like interesting facts, like "Adam Ruins Everything", rather than necessarily wanting to know for filming.

 

Plans include, brief camera movement history, why directors use camera movement and how it's done, comparing film clips with/without movement, and make some of my own showing the difference camera movement has on a scene and how important it is. I'll show different, simple ways to achieve camera movement by showing professional equipment all the way down to handheld, including film of me experimenting.

 

Research will determine format/content decisions. Format research includes other YouTube videos to decide appropriate style/formats/length, whether simple animation in many of them is useful, for editing style inspiration. Equipment research incudes simple animation tools, how to better use my equipment, and professional equipment that I'll discuss. Content research includes behind-the-scenes footage (YouTube/DVDs), films and TV shows, other camera movement videos, camera movement history and directors talking, 

 

Filming resources – 2 cameras/tripods for simultaneous 2-angle shots, lighting equipment, microphone and Slider Track. My phone, gimbal, Yi camera/accessories. I'd like to use college's Stabilizer and Slider Track. I'll film in several locations (my lounge, garden, the nearby woods) so I'll film several different days.

 

Feedback - I'll ask a range of people including target audience friends, my course friends (filming knowledge) and my tutors (experts), including Primary Research and ongoing feedback for film improvement.
