Learning Comment
We took the chance of practising some shots on arrival so we could adjust the camera settings accordingly. The shots in the video are raw and uncut, as we wanted to show that we will improve the shots to a higher quality. For example, in the zooming close-up, we struggled to keep the cameras focus solely on the actors face due to how close we got to the camera. We found a function on the camera (after being informed by our actor) that would manually select an focus and his face. We hope this will improve the shot which will include in the videos as we only need the clip for a very short duration. It was slightly wet when filming so it was even more vital for the lens to remain clear, while keeping the non-waterproof camera dry. In the practice shots, we learnt we needed to constantly check this as it would ruin plenty of shots and cause us to refill. Thankfully, this never occurred apart from one shot which has made sorting the footage much simpler.
