Camera Skills – Such a Marketable Literacy!

Filed Under (21st Century Toolbox, filmmaking) by blogwalker on 18-09-2008 and tagged

Seems as though the commercial sector frequently, though unintentionally, provides some of the best free teaching resources. Take, for example, the video below, for a stunning look at the effective use of basic camera shots (a skill I’m still hoping to master). Before you watch the video, you might want to know that it was produced to sell a very upscale condo development in Charleston, S.C., located at the intersection of Jones and Whiter.

No, I’m not in the market for a condo (and the model’s dress is not my style), but I do really like the variety and use of the shots and the way it flows together via transitions.

    I thought it was pretty good until the “boy” showed up. Was that her son? Her brother? Certainly not her boyfriend. How about some pictures of the condos? These lifestyle pieces always make me wonder, “what were they thinking?”
