Filming Techniques Research

http://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/HyperGraph/animation/cameras/traditional_film_camera_techniqu.htm    - This site gives some written information on filming techniques. After looking at some of these allowed me to understand some of the techniques used in our given film genre. For example, the Laurel and Hardy sketch Busy Bodies used few elements of panning / tilting and was only really used slightly when action went slightly out of shot.
