I thought I would tell you about the camera lens I was given for Christmas. I was going to go for some filters as well but Windows XP has forced me to upgrade all of my video-editing software and cd-writing software at great cost. Bill Gates has a lot to answer for.
Anyway I go a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens. Which make my camera look a bit stupid because it's a tiny sony handheld, but they're pretty damn good and will allow me to make artistic statements using my camera. For instance a common technique used in Ken Loach films is to use wide-angle lenses to emphasise the smallness of people in relation to other things. Also you can get reall cool distortion effects. If someone puts something right up close to the camera then it looms and sems to expand to film the frame. Which is good stuff if you want to make action-y films. Telephoto lenses are also cool because you don't have to use the shoddy zoom that comes on most cameras. More importantly you can use it to "flatten" what you're trying to film. If it's used correctly it can make the viewer seem like they are on top of the image. In the words of the Strokes, it's hard to explain.
Anyone want to give me some cinematic tricks of their own? DVD commentaries are quite useful for finding out stuff like this. Budding directors let us pool are collective talents.

i like the filters used in traffic, they use an orange tint for the heat of mexico and a cold blue for washinton which is pretty cool.
