Student Films pt.2.

What works well in student films:

  • Close up shots of special effect make-up.
  • Props being closely related to conventions.
  • Music to set the scene (eerie for horror films).
  • Tripod use - very steady.
  • Using a wide range of camera shots and angles. 
What doesn't work well in films:
  • Running with camera - moving handheld shot.
  • Actors aren't well directed.
  • No transtitions used - no continuity.
  • Obeying the 180 degree rule.
