Filming

On Monday 8th June we were set the task to go out and film several shots. We went in a group of 4 and decided to film our shots around the school. During this session I learnt a lot about the different shots involved such as; extreme close up, medium close up, long shot, medium long shot, over the shoulder, tracking, panning, tilting, two shot and many others. For my first real time at filing I don't think I done too bad with getting to grips with what the shots are howevere there were some obvious faults such as when I was filming a medium close up it was not until I watched the footage back that I realised I had cu the top of Matt's head off.
As a group we also discussed the fact that we did not realise it would be fairly hard to even just hold the camera still and a certain skill would need to be developed to be able to hold it still.
Overall I feel this lesson taught me a lot and the next time I film shots I will be able to recognise and hopefully avoid these faults.
