ContactField Camera Fundamentals
This course is for reporters who shoot their own material and for new camera operators who want sound habits. It runs online, with practice clips you record on your own kit and review with Daniel Whitcombe.
Contact
- Framing and composition
- You learn how to frame a talking head, a wide establishing shot and a cutaway so that each one earns its place in the edit. Daniel reviews your clips and marks where the frame fights the story.
- Exposure and focus
- We cover reading light on location, setting exposure by eye and by meter, and holding focus on a moving subject. You practise in changing light and learn which compromises are safe.
- Steady handheld shooting
- Handheld work is taught as a set of body positions and movements rather than a trick. You record short drills at home and receive notes on wobble, breathing and pacing.
- Shooting for the edit
- The final module is about coverage: getting enough variety and clean entrances and exits so an editor can build a sequence. You submit a short story package and receive written feedback.
Have a camera you can control manually, a tripod if you own one, and a few minutes of recent footage ready to share in the first session.
