10 Camera Techniques

All through high school, I have been taking classes on film. This year I am a junior, and one of the major perks in getting to use the very nice DSLR cameras. I didn't know how to use them at all at the beginning of the year, but I was soon taught by my video teacher and some of the students who had used them before. To help us familiarize ourselves with the cameras and improve our skills, we practiced shooting ten different camera techniques, including different types of pans, zooms, and focuses. I worked with two friends to complete a short video where we used each technique, and while the project was not super creative, it did help us improve ourselves as filmmakers.
