Zooming problemmmm!

Creator's Corner Directing Help & Tips

so i’m writing in my story and i’m trying to zoom on a specific character. when i try to zoom onto him, it goes to the character next to him and then when i go on my phone to adjust the camera, it’s goes to zone 2 on it’s own. i’ve been trying for the past 15 minutes and nothing is working. i even tried the template :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: , help !!

i used template because normal zoom wasn’t working, but it still doesn’t work

I need the whole script from the start of the scene, as I don’t know which zone this is in, or where the characters are standing.

You know that moment when you just begin to question your whole entire life?
That moment where you don’t know whether you want to live or die?
That moment where everything seems to feel unreal?
That moment you want to scream and cry out for your parents because you feel | bold , animation:shuffle-sideways | absolutely helpless?
Because this has definitely got to be one of those moments.
The look on all of their faces caused the pit in my stomach to deepen.

LANDON’s in zone 1, so you should cut to zone 1 and then zoom in on him.

Then you cut back to zone 2, when you’re zooming in on DAMIEN.

Did you do focus or just zoom? to zoom in a specific place you need to click focus and adjust where you want the zoom to be, then click zoom and it will zoom wherever you clicked.
