Basic Composition
• Principles of videography composition techniques are similar to photography
• Pay attention to point of interest (POI)• Pay attention on lighting

Rule of third
![Page 10: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Lighting
• Optimizing the available light sources: sunlight, room lights
• Do not direct camera to the light sources, it will darken the subject
• For portrait, side lights are better• Avoid shooting in the very bright sunlight, best
lighting is before 10am and after 3pm• Use custom White Balance

Elements in Documentary Video
• Main: interviews or narration
• Filler:– Situations– Actual events– Acting
![Page 12: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Interviews/Narrations (1)
• Can be done with or without interviewer in the frame
• Lentera Ide uses the main actor as a narrator, with gestures as an interviewee person
• Rule of third mostly applied, with some improvisation
• Use tight frames, shallow depth of field (DOF)• Steady shots
![Page 13: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Interviews/Narrations (2)
Similar to “model or portrait photography”
![Page 14: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Situations (1)
• Used to fill the narrations, as a substitution to the actor scenes
• Used as a filler between segments (without narrations)
• Use wide frames, maximum DOF• Usually apply some movements: left-right or
up-down panning
![Page 15: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Situations (2)
Similar to “landscape photography”
![Page 16: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Acting (1)
• Some functions as situations• Sometimes can be use to explain the details in
the narrations• Can use wide or tight frames
![Page 17: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Acting (2)
Wide frame for acting
![Page 18: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Acting (3)
Tight frame for acting
![Page 19: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Equipments (1)
• Cameras that can record in full HD resolution (1080 x 720)
• DSLR is an advantage: – much better lens choices compared to standard
handycam– Can freely apply the photography concepts
• Handycam is needed for long documentation shots

Equipments (2)
• Always use tripod!• Preferable tripods with levers instead of
ballhead• Sound recorder• Reflector to direct the lights• Optional light sources: desk lamp, torch light• Spare batteries, spare memory card
![Page 21: Videography for Documentary Video](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5585e0cdd8b42aa6518b4f23/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Suggestions
• Put more filler to the narrations instead of the actor interview scenes
• Put more angles for the interview scenes• Explore more situations frames, different
angles, different locations, different events• Try high or low angles
