Exploring Shots

Today myself and Ben began our task on camera shots. Our task was to use a video camera to shoot different styles of shots around our school to then be able to edit together; we could film people, objects or parts of the building. We spent our lunch time trying to gather together the different shots that we would need- predominantly of people we knew- including high angle shots, close-ups and long shots. This was the first time we'd both experimented using the school's camera and tripod and we soon realized actually using the two elements together wasn't as simple as we had thought!
Tomorrow we plan to look over the shots we have taken and perhaps evaluate whether they are the correct techniques and if not going back out with the camera to redo any mistakes.
