Technical Tuesday | Round Trolley Shot
Yesterday in our office, yes the very one where we have our square conferences around a round table or is it the other way around? Well, those who have following us for sometime know what we are talking about. Now, what were we talking about? Yes, our discussions yesterday.
We had this discussion with our group, the very one that include Bunny, Care Khan, Kalki, Vrushali and yes there is one who cannot be named. So, we tend to discuss posts and the comments we gather. It is at sometimes a serious conversation with coffee and no sandwich while at others there is a huge tub of popcorn with some flying on people (okay, that is an exaggeration, as we do not waste food when we can put on our waist).
We digress, yet again. The discussion was putting up something useful about what we do. We do some interesting work. Be it taking photographs, videos of interviews and behind the scene and much more (not wanting to elaborate what all useful things we really do!!).

Okay seriously, we bring you example of what a round trolley shot is. Now, of course, the savvy ones already know what that is. Well, a round trolley shot, is one where a camera is made to revolve around the subjects to get a 360 degree perspective. It is really a 360 degree perspective? No, this type of a shot is used to finish a scene faster with different magnifications, like two-shot, over the shoulder shot, close-ups and revelation shot all with just one set up; a round trolley. The clinch is that the whole area needs to be cleared, lit-up and set up. However with mostly mid-close shots, it is not difficult for the guys with thermocol to lie on the ground to provide some additional lights.
Next, week we shall bring you another aspect of filming and making a daily soap.
Do leave your comments if you want to know about something specific or just generally leave a comment. We do read.
Yes, we shall bring you something on mood song as well. We do remember (almost).
Watch shows on television by getting immersed in the characters and the story and watch our videos dissecting aspects of filming.
Happy viewing.
