Here is my group and I experimenting with Sound on our DSLR camera.
1- Firstly we recorded audio with the mic on. Based on the sound quality you can hear words and sentences clearly.
2- We then recorded audio without the use of a mic. However we are happy we tested this because the audio quality is quiet and unclear.
3- Finally we recorded audio with the sound enhanced, we did this by in creasing the audio on the DSLR camera. As you can tell from our video this audio was the best quality and was very clear.
Lighting
We then decided to test the different type of lighting from both interior and exterior. From this you can see the difference of lighting of inside and out when we alter the filter.
Rule of thirds:
The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide line and their intersection point, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.

3 point Lighitng:
We would use this if we needed to re-film any lip syncing in school.
Fill light: A supplementary light used in photography or filming that does not change the character of the main light and is used chiefly to lighten shadows.
Key light: The key light is the first and usually most important light that a photographer, cinematographer, lighting cameraman, or other scene composer will use in a lighting setup. The purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of the subject.
Back light: A light source placed behind an actor, object, or scene to create a highlight that separates the subject from the background.
Camera Dolly:
Having a camera dolly for your movie can make a world of difference in terms of production value. Movies are motion pictures and that means that they require motion. If there isn't motion happening in the frame, then a slight dolly move can make a world of difference in making a talking heads scene more interesting.
Green screen:
A green screen is just that, a green screen, but without “Chroma Keying” it is not much use. Chroma Keying is the process by which a specific colour element (chroma) is removed from a video scene and replaced (keyed) with a different element.
Essentially it’s the way video producers remove one background and replace it with another. You will have seen hundreds of examples of this in films, such as the kids cycling across the sky in ET, and in TV, as it’s the process used when you see someone presenting the weather in front of a moving map.
For us at VirtualStudio.TV this is how we place our presenters within our 3D virtual studios to create Internet Videos and Virtual Events.
Chroma key is a technique used in a film, video and still photograph to replace a portion of an image with a new image.
This is done through a process called chroma keying, which means selecting a colour and removing every instance of that colour in the image. Any image placed behind the screen becomes invisible.

1. Tracking Shots
Tracking shots refer to shots where the camera moves on dolly with the subject. One example of this is feet that are walking. The dolly is set up parallel to the actor with the camera framed up on the actor's feet. The dolly grip pushes the dolly at the same pace of the actor's walking speed for the camera to capture a shot of the feet walking. A tracking shot can be used for almost anything; it's meaning comes from how the director decides to use it.
2. Pushing In and Out
The look of a shot that has the dolly pushing in and out looking similar to a zoom, yet it is much different. The actual movement of the camera creates a feeling that the viewing audience is physically traveling with the camera. A zoom is a cheaper version of this shot that an audience will see right through.
3. Slight Movement
Slight dolly movement in scenes where characters are sitting and talking can help pick up the pace of the scene and just in general make it more interesting to watch.
4. Tilt Up and Down
Higher end dollies arms that enable the camera to travel up and down on a straight line. The ability to do this creates another axis of camera movement at the filmmaker's disposal.
Below is a short video showing me experimenting with a camera dolly for the fist time!
