This has been under my skin since I learned about the 180 Degree rule. People say the only time it's okay to break the 180 Rule is when a conversation is being held in the car.

Expand postThis has been under my skin since I learned about the 180 Degree rule. People say the only time it's okay to break the 180 Rule is when a conversation is being held in the car. But the 180 degree line is not broken. The line moves and the camera position becomes lined up as if it was lined up for a over the shoulder shot. You have two guys in a car and they heads are facing each other. Just because the camera flops from side to side, that doesn't mean the 180 degree rule is broken, the line just sits in front of the actors and the cinematographer is still technically on one side of the axis.
PARIS there are NO RULES .. if u know HOW IT's gonna APPEAR on SCREEN ... no 180, no 2 shot, 3 shot, CU MCU LS ..whatever ... U R THE FIRST MAN BORN WHOSE MAKIN a FILM ... Film making is indeed an audacious task ... u've got be arrogant at times .. with all due respect ... :)

Expand commentThe whole purpose of Film Grammar (like the rules of any language) is to make it all flow so that the audience doesn't "see the join" and to establish and maintain the geography of the set and the characters therein. Crossing the Line is only one of many. A neat way to cross it is to dolly over it. The other rules are: Do not Jump Cut. Creatively done in Seven Samurai. 1,2,3 cuts on shot of the wise man's house. Always cut on action. Again a great one in that film when one man walks away from the group in long shot and then falls to his knees in close up. Note he drops his head BEFORE the cut. Rock it back and forth on an editing machine to see how it was done. A great film for study. Break the rules to deliberately confuse the audience. Keep them to maintain smooth continuity. In real life our vision does not go Cut,Cut,Cut to different scenes, does it? So keep the rules if you want the audience to be totally engrossed and not disturbed. Any editor will tell you to maintain continuity. The number of times one gets footage on the Avid which just will not cut together!!! Editors have been known to flip the image to get it right, so make sure there isn't a clock or signage in the background. This is why gaffs on IMDb report wrist watches changing sides etc because the editor has had to flip the footage. Hugh Grant's single earring (when he was trying to be trendy) suddenly changes sides in Notting Hill!
PS Also Maintain a Sense of Direction. Another rule to discuss! See the early films made in Brighton 1895-1905 period! Classic establishment of the basic rules.
Kyle, I just got your comment on my post, and I just looked at some of your films. I am very impressed. I would love to talk to you some more and tell you about my film, and maybe even bring you on board. Jordan
Hi Jordan, Feel free to shoot me an email with the details. Look forward to hearing from you.

just observed that some cameramen are having problem maintaining focus on this camera especially while following the moving character. is it their lack of expertise or any other technical reason that should be taken care of? also can we record the good quality sound on this camera along with the video?
you'll need a follow focus and someone to pull focus. check out zacuto.com. And record sound separately using the zoom h1n or similar

Expand commentYes, ken, follow focus is a skilled art, and unfortunately a great many don't know how crucial it is.. If the shot is out of focus, or hunting through the focus then it is both distracting and unprofessional. If shooting a documentary then it may not work, depending on the subject,. Yet a drama, the lower depth of focus is desired as a "look" by many, (and is often why the Canon 5D is chosen due to the larger sensor size). the focus can be extremely critical at wider apertures and longer lenses. Again it all depends on the subject matter, how it is lit and the treatment of the visuals and story, so there is no one answer. If in doubt find yourselves a good experienced focus puller and shoot a picture with that area all in hand. It will be a better film because a focus puller (or nowadays the 1st assistant camera) will bring more than the focus elements, they bring a whole lot more. Lets be professional in whatever situation we are in
If u can't afford all this then shoot with a smaller sensor, especially for documentary you'll use lots of depth of field. I shot docs for many years and always use the hyper focal distance (gives you maximum depth of field at a given f-stop for a given focal length)
Hi Kyle:: This is Sasha Vosk, writer-director-producer of the "Irony World". Thank you very much for responding to my call. I liked your work. Will be in touch with you shortly. Take good care, Sasha

Expand postI recently invested in an ActionCam Raptor stabilization system (http://www.innocinema.com/actioncam-raptor.html), and although I have been making steady progress, could really use some real instruction from a veteran. You don't have to worry about me poaching work, because I don't plan on ever hiring myself out solely as a steadicam operator -- it's primarily for use in my own films. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm willing to pay!
thanks for the connect!
