Tripod trix

This video of 'tripod trixs' is a tutorial of some great techniques for using a tripod to your advantage while filming my music video as it not just for keeping your camcorder on. The video shows you range of techniques you can use to improve your framing shots to make the video look smoother and more interesting to the audience by creating different effects. For instance the 'dolly slide' effect which allows you to create suspense to a scene or emphasis on an object of importance to your video or just to add motion to your scene so the stop any static shots.Another technique that this video taught me was the 'crane' that can add drama to a scene you are trying to shoot.However the video also showed me how to improve a technique such as panning a shot smoothly the way the tricks works is to use a rubber band elasticity to move the camera slowly one way to create a perfect pan. Finally 'tripod trixs' shows how a tripod can become a steady cam to keep all the shots still by having a mobile camera that can move anywhere. Overall this 'Tripod trix' helped me improve my music video vastly as it showed me how important a tripod can be to a film production.
