Visual Grammar is the technique of telling stories and sending messages to people who
are using moving pictures.
Now we are panning to show different details on the grasshopper.
With these kind of shots you can show details and give information.
This is a medium shot. In the medium shot you can see the hands of the person.
You can also see my face and my emotions.
This is a medium close up. In the medium close up you're quite close to the camera
and it's quite intimate. If I make a face or I have emotions, you can immediately see it.
This one is an extreme close up. It can be very intimate or even scary.
One of the choices you make when you're making a video is camera height.
How high you hold the camera. Now I'm making a video about this American football
and I'm looking at it from my eye level down to the level of the ball.
In most cases it's a better choice to go to the level where my subject is.
So in the case of this film about the American football I go to the level of the American football.
This is basically about making the invisible line visible.
This is the line that the camera is not supposed to cross when you're filming action behind me.
We have two characters here. A man is on the left and the woman is on the right.
Behind them you see the trees. These two characters are having a conversation.
But then suddenly we go like... Wait a second, where is he now?
We lost the connection with space. First we filmed him on this side of the line
and then we moved to film him from the other side of the line.
If you cross the line with a cut then this will happen
and the audience will be confused not knowing where we are anymore.
Then there are the camera moves. One camera moves and the camera follows the action.
For this you can use a steady cam or you can just walk really really smoothly.
In some kind of shots the camera is fixed and then life just enters the frame.
And it can happen that people enter, they do something and then they go out
and the camera is just standing there.
