establishing shots​

purpose: show location and context

  • speed: 0.5x - 1x
  • use shift for smoothness

detail shots​

purpose: focus on specific elements

technique:

  • close-up
  • low fov (30-50°)
  • minimal movement

lcs settings:

  • speed: 0.1x - 0.3x
  • lower fov with mouse wheel
  • use shift constantly

tracking shots​

purpose: follow action

technique:

  • match subject speed
  • maintain distance
  • smooth panning

lcs settings:

  • speed: adjust to match subject
  • medium fov (50-70°)
  • practice timing

technique:

  • start tight or obscured
  • pull back or pan to reveal
  • build anticipation

lcs settings:

  • speed: 0.2x - 0.5x

composition tips​

rule of thirds​

place subjects at intersection points for balanced composition.

leading lines​

use environment geometry to guide the viewer's eye:

  • roads, paths
  • walls, buildings

depth​

create layers in your shots:

  • foreground element
  • subject in middle
  • background environment

framing​

use environment to frame your subject:

  • doorways
  • windows
  • arches
  • natural openings

best practices​

  • always use private servers
  • practice camera movements before recording
  • take multiple takes of important shots
  • vary your camera angles
  • pay attention to lighting
  • keep movements smooth and deliberate
