Coming to you from Cinecom.net, this great video tutorial will show you five simple and effective cinematography techniques. When you are new to video, it can be a bit tricky, as unlike still photography, the camera itself now becomes a dynamic storytelling device. In still images, you still make the same choices involving framing, composition, and the like, but of course, in video, those things can evolve over time to match your story, juxtapose it, and generally push it forward. Thankfully, these techniques are not all overly difficult and do not always require specialized video equipment either (sometimes just changes in settings), making them perfect to test out as you are at home and looking for something to do. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
