Unfortunately we have all been there. The subject matter is uninspiring and there is absolutely nothing you can do to make it visually stimulating. For me this usually occurs when I have to film an event or other social gathering however I never let it get me down; when this happens I figure I have two choices, I can either let the boring and humdrum win or I can use some of the following tricks and attempt to get some prize winning footage.
POV: When you use the Point of View Shot you are virtually taking the shot from the point of view of the subject itself. This shot was immortalized during the film The Patriot when the cannon ball comes right at the camera and then the action cuts to a soldier being cut in two by that same cannon ball. The shot easily gains the interest of the audience and quickly pulls them into the action. I normally go with this shot when I have a lot of action and I want to get great shots of the same action.
Rack Focus: Rack Focus shifts focus between subjects in the background and foreground so a viewer's attention moves from subject to subject as the focus shifts. Rack Focus gives you some amazing footage since it puts the camera man in direct control of the audience. By manually changing the focus of the camera between subjects distant and close you include two totally distinct subjects without cutting or moving the camera. You are forcing your audience to change focus from one subject to another during a shot, guiding their attention to a new point of interest while the previous one blurs. This technique adds a professional look to any video.
Crooked Angle: By turning the camera to its side so the ground is no longer parallel with the square of the viewfinder you will get some very interesting shots. It sounds crazy but you will definitely be astounded by how amazing some of these shots can be. Sea sickness is possible though if there is a lot of movement with the camera so try to keep the camera somewhat still. You can still use very slight movements at crooked angles which is an easy way to create interest and cast your subjects in a new light.
Track Shot: If you can figure out the logistics track shots is a great way to get a video that will hold peoples interest. A track shot is when you move the camera in a definite path. You can do this shot using a wheelchair or skateboard but it creates some amazing video!
Turn your bland session into something incredible with these four classic shots which will definitely increase the interest of your productions and leave your audience wanting more.
