Digging Deeper Day - All Shots, Movements & Angles

Our first task was given to us on Digging Deeper Day on the 22nd of October. In groups we had to produce a film of all the shots, movements and angles from a shot list filming either an object or a person.

I was in a group with Wilhelmina, Indya and Sam and first we decided filming a person would be better to get an idea of the different shots, movements and angles so Indya volunteered herself to be filmed. Then we collected a tripod, flip camera and the list of shots we had to do. We went around the school and filmed a 5-10 second clip of each shot, movement and angle of Indya. We ensured they were as accurate as possible by using the sheet and comparing it to what we were filming.

I think our film came out quite well however to improve it I would make sure we had long enough clips so we could all make them the same length as when I watch it I feel sometimes it's quite irregular as the clip sizes are different. As well as this I would make sure no one was talking in the background or maybe even mute all the videos so the focus of the film is primarily on the shots, movements and angles being taken. Also if possible I would use a camera dolly for the tracking, crabbing and panning shots as we had to move them ourselves, therefore they didn't come out very smooth and the quality is reduced and it doesn't seem very professional. In addition to this I would re-film all the clips and make sure Indya didn't fidget as much as it takes the focus away from the shots making it seem less professional.

Although, overall I think for our first video this is a good effort as it includes all shots, movements and angles and we have done the best to work with the equipment we were given.
