Shooting Slow Motion ( part 2 )

 Time Stretching 

The second type of slow motion is achieved during post production. This process is known as time - stretching or digital slow motion.  

    This type of slow motion is achieved by adding new frames in between frames that have actually been photographed not filmed. The effect is similar to overcranking as the actual motion is the same just happens over a longer time over a longer time.

                                     

Shooting in Slow motion ( part 1 )

  Slow Motion  

Slow Motion filming is an effect in film making that is done by making time seem as if it has been slowed down.  'slowmo'. 

Normally this style is achieved when each film frame is captured at a rate much faster than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving slower. This then has a major effect on the way that the film is viewed and the reaction that people have when viewing the film.

How Slow Motion Works 

There are a few ways in which slow motion ' slow mo ' can be achieved in modern cinematography. Both of these involve a camera and a projector. A projector refers to a classical film projector in a movie theater, but the same simple rules apply to a television screen and any other device that displays a number of images at a constant frame rate.

Overcranking

One of the techniques that is regularly used is called over cranking and this is done by leaving a time gap in between each frame which make the film seen slower and therefor gives the effect of slow motion.

Filming techniques :

 Over-the-shoulder shots , these shots are exactly what the name says - a shot with an actor's shoulder in the foreground, out of focus. I will tell you right away that good over-the-shoulder shots are some of the most time-consuming to shoot correctly, because you need to make sure that there is neither too much nor too little shoulder in the frame. However , in my opinion no filmmaker that is intending to be serious with his career can afford not to learn film  techniques . It is essential in that line of work. There are some directors that openly say that they would learn a wider range off techniques if they had the chance again and would also have a used a different range of things to be able to brouden there skill level in terms of filming.

Tilt shots , tilting up or down is one of the simplest carer techniques there are. Sometimes due to the simplicity of the camera technique it gets overused and is then can then sometimes be poorly executed.
The best way for a tilting shot to be set up is through out the scene that is going to be shot you have a main part that stands out a lot more than the rest so that the eye of the viewer is drawn towards that and is then not lost in the movement of the camera.  These shots are also known as (panning shots)

Zoom shots ,  these can be very cool and effective if it is done successfully, Zooming was very much out of favour in the 1900s , and they experienced a healthy revival when Ridley Scott's career really took off in the days with ' Hannibal " and " Gladiator ' both of which have outstanding examples of zoom shots.
