Even with simple camcorders, even with a mobile phone, you can shoot videos with an appealing picture quality. This film accompanies three students as they shoot their own videos and focuses on ways to develop their own film language. The necessary equipment, camera, tripod, microphone and the basic technical requirements of white balance, aperture, frame rate and exposure time are presented. A separate chapter deals with the choice of the right lens and shows the expressive possibilities that can be achieved with a targeted depth of field. Another chapter deals with how to set the right scene for the interviewee, what to consider and what to avoid. In conjunction with the extensive additional material (worksheets, colour slides, interactive worksheets, test tasks, lesson plans), this DVD is ideal for use in the classroom.
