Thats a GREAT camera! Nice big lens, manual focus, mic in, big sensor, HD. Some folks here would KILL for that camera.
Its hard to be helpfull without knowing "where you are" in your current abilities\skill set. But maybe these simple suggestions will help..
- Light flat and even (adjust for LOOK in post)
- Use tripod
- use the basic "three takes" coverage for dialog scenes (gives you everything you need to edit a solid looking dialog)
Dont cross the "line" ( google for "180 degree rule" for more info)
1) Shoot master "2 shot" of entire dialog, you can see both actors
2) Shoot OTS from Actor A looking at Actor B for entire dialog
3) Shoot OTS from Actor B looking at Actor A for entire dialog
For shallow DOF with that camera, step AWAY from the action, then ZOOM back in for desired framing.
Shoot 24f with 1\48 shutter (your camera can do it!)
Don't pan too fast, unless the subject your following is taking up a large part of the frame..
Tripod
External Mic, External Mic, oh, and EXTERNAL MIC! !!! !!! ! duck taped to broom handle and call it a boom!
One of my favorite ghetto DIY projects!
