Need help for movie project
-
Hi all, im doing a movie project with some of my friends.As im writing this post im doing the script, and i need help for the script as i have to write instruction for the cameraman so he know how to shoot it.
First of all may i know whats the meaning of the phrases:
ANGLE ON as in ANGLE ON a heap of fire-blackened human bones?
Instead of writing BEFORE DOING A 180 DEGREE TURN(for the camera)
what should i write?
and what should i also write instead of AND MOVING UPWARDS*?
* for making movie this tool is used for moving upward...(pic)
*and also if anyone help me then i put his nick and the term "sgforums" to the credits... -
it's your job do it yourself.

i know but i need to know certain phrase....

It has been quite some time since I last came across these terms, but if my memory serves me right:
ANGLE ON is a type of shot that usually takes place in scenes of large settings with various objects of focus. If you are on a field with a heap of fire-blackened human bones and maggot-infested flesh, and the previous shot was a detail shot of the flesh, you may indicate ANGLE ON to tell the director to suggest a new shot in the same location, pointing the camera in a direction that feature the bones.
You could use REVERSE ANGLE or COUNTER POV (Point-Of-View) to denote a new shot from an opposite point of view. For a 180 degree rotation of the camera, you could use PAN but it may disorientate the viewer if the panning speed is too fast.
As for moving upwards, if your camera is turning upwards -- like when we turn our heads to look upwards -- use PAN. If it is following the upward movement of a certain object in the scene, use TRACK to indicate a tracking shot.
The tool in the picture is usually called a crane.

A bird's eye view from the crane could be referred to as BOOM SHOT or CRANE SHOT.

There are scripts which also use notations like "(LONG SHOT BIRD'S EYE) [subject]" to indicate high angle shots.

Go to http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/ and ask around. I thik there is a forum specially for film students called virtual producers lab.
If i am not wrong, there are a number of film students there. No matter, that forum is frequented by a larger number of movie nuts and the chances of someone knowing shoukld be higher there. -
This may sound like carrying Buddha's leg, but alternatively, you could read up some filming scripts for existing movies published on the web. That was how I came across those terms.
