Digital Video Production (Footage Capturing)


After we have tried the abstract creating in Digital Storyboarding we moved on the capturing videos for the task based on the mood of the storyboard we created


Based on this we have to capture a motion picture that describes the mood in the frame










Digital Video Production (Footage Compilation)


After getting all the footages we compile the videos into a single video with the music as the background


Digital Video Production (Shots)

In making a video, cinematography has many different shots (camera angles) which changes the perspective of the audience. 

  1. Over the shoulder
  2. Tilt
  3. Follow-up
  4. Close up
  5. Extreme close up
  6. Long
  7. Wide 
  8. Bird's eye
  9. High angle
  10. Low angle
and many more. All of these shots adds in atmosphere and depth to the audiences watching the film which helps immerse their feelings into the film and enjoy it through-fully.
