Photographer Required to click and edit pictures

PART 1 DELIVER A SHOT LIST of 6 STATIC SHOTS Record the following shots and edit them together. Each shot should be no more than 5 or 6 seconds in length. The sequence of shots does not have to tell a story but work some action in the shots. This can be as simple as a person turning towards or away from camera or picking up a prop. Ask your subject to emote something, a smile, a frown, laugh, contemplation, sadness, confusion etc. Do multiple takes and in editing only include the best take. Ensure that the camera is stable, in focus, well exposed and level on the tripod (no handheld shots) and it is not shaky. Carefully frame your shot, be conscious of what is in the frame. Try to compose a pleasing frame. Remember the rule of thirds. Ensure there is nothing in the frame that may distract the viewer from the subject or action. Ensure that the video is well exposed and if possible take advantage of the light. For example, try shooting at dusk, but be careful the sun sets quickly, and you can run out of light before you know it! Do multiple takes and through editing only include the very best takes. Wide Shot (WS) eg a house, a landscape, a cityscape, a streetscape, a garden, a room Full Shot (FS) a person (head to toe) Medium (MS) a person (waist up) Medium close up (MCU) a person (head and shoulders) Close Up (CU) a person (face only) Over-the-shoulder (OTS) two people Make sure your shot framings are different from each other . PART 2 DELIVER A SHOT LIST of 6 MOVEMENT SHOTS Make your camera movements intentional, smooth, and steady. Give it a beat (i.e. half a second pause, but try to feel it) before and after the movement. Include the beat i.e. stationary shot pre and post move in your edit. Make sure the shot begins on a specific subject and concludes on a specific subject. Ensure there is nothing in the frame that may distract the viewer from the subject or action. DO NOT SIMPLY REVERSE YOUR PANS, ZOOMS AND TILTS. USE ORIGINAL SHOTS Pan left to right (ensure that the camera move begins stationary, count a beat, pan, end the movement, count a beat) Pan right to left (as above) Zoom in from WS to MS (ensure that the camera move begins stationary, count a beat, zoom, end the zoom, count a beat) Zoom out from MS to WS (ensure that the camera move begins stationary, count a beat, zoom, end the zoom, count a beat) Tilt up. (Ensure that the camera move begins stationary, count a beat, tilt, end the tilt, count a beat) Make sure the shot begins on a subject and concludes on a subject. Ensure there is nothing in the frame that may distract the viewer from the subject or action.) Tilt down. (Ensure that the camera move begins stationary, count a beat, pan, count a beat) Make sure the shot begins on a subject and concludes on a subject. Ensure there is nothing in the frame that may distract the viewer from the subject or action.) Be conscious of composition, framing and smooth camera movements. PART 3 CREATE AN EDITED SEQUENCE Shoot and edit together a 4 or 5 second action sequence. Each shot be 5 or 6 seconds in length, making the sequence 25-30 seconds in length Try to tell a story. As above ensure shots are well framed, stable and any camera movement is intentional and smooth. Use a variety of different shots, angels, framings and if you wish (but do not be gratuitous) camera movements. Work in MS, OTS, WS, CU, MCU. Perhaps a cooking demonstration with a very enthusiastic cook, a sports sequence with a sore loser, a card game that ends badly, someone working at a computer, and they are frustrated, or a short dramatic sequence of your choosing. Use your imagination! Be sure to adhere to editing rules regarding crossing the axis of action and matching action. Avoid any flash frames. AUDIO: Record natural sound i.e. background, ambient sound (use the camera mic). BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN confidentiality and the rights are transferred. I need it by 6pm EST -20th October
