A recent study concluded that successful businessmen are three times more likely to have a risky behaviors than during their teenage years. The risk here is breaking rules. The study showed that these business executives are successful, and came from secure backgrounds. Smart, professional and with self esteem, they did everything in their teenage years. Therefore, they have a combination of brains, with a history of risk taking and well education. Pushing their boundaries in each business venture including the video production Melbourne, they probably were thrilled with the outcome. It was established that playing safe did not accomplish the same outcome.
So, risk and video production? Like everything else, video production has its rules. Some of the most common are the 180 degree rule, rules regarding camera stability, focus, rule of thirds, framing and output quality, etc. They are called the “grammar” of TV and films, and in order that success is achieved, one has to master them. Video making is an art, and in the words of Pablo Picasso, “learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”
Strategic rule breaking can bring success. It is the euphemism for innovation and experimentation. It attracts valuable interest, makes one different by giving them a competitive edge. Rule breaking does not mean peppering the video with these sequences, as overdoing anything upsets the visual quality. Implementing with intent and purpose, the calculated risks achieves a deliberate affect. Let us look at some examples.
The 180 degree rule is an industrial convention that simply means, “do not cross the line.” This line exists between two characters. If someone is filming a scene with two people, they will each exist in different sides. This will help the scene to flow naturally and help the viewer to follow the action. This will facilitate in the seamless flow of the scene and the viewer to follow the action. If the continuity of the scene is broken, it has a jarring effect on the viewers and leaves them on the edge of their seat. It heightens the tension and it comes with huge success.
The second kind is the shaky camera rule. Camera stability is important in professional videos. Camera shake reminds people of dodgy family videos they are forced to watch when relatives visit at Christmas. They make the video look amateur, the camera operator unpracticed. There is no excuse for a professional video producer to have a shaky camera. There are scenes in which shaky cameras can give the film dramatic opening. But far from making the movie look unprofessional or amateurish, the shaky camera heightens the feeling of panic and chaos, and helps to give the viewer an insight into the unspeakable fear those soldiers must have felt. The rule is broken, deliberately, and with great success.
Video production Melbourne does not need any specific rules that need to be adhered to. This is the reason that sometimes breaking the convention helps in attaining the desired effect.
