First Attempt With A Camera

The video above is my groups first attempt with a camera, we took turns to make different camera shots and movements. Our filming wasn't the best as we did not set up our camera very well before each shot so I have put ways to improve and what we did wrong after most of the shots.

We started with a panning long shot up to 0.05 seconds showing most of the field. The movement could of been a lot smother on this and we should have weighed up the ratio of trees in the shot in comparison to the ratio of grass.
We then moved to a medium long shot at 0.07 then a medium shot (two character shot) before filming we should have thought about our head space in both of these shots.
After that we went onto a medium close-up at 0.11, this shot was quite wonky, we ought to of checked this before filming.
We then moved onto a slight low angle close-up showing my face and surroundings at 0.14 and a big close-up at 0.17.
My group then attempted a reverse angle shot at 0.19, however, I thought it did not look very effective as the actress was not really looking at anything so we just filmed a blank space.
Our second to last shot was a another low-angle shot at 0.23, however because the light was behind our actress it was hard to see her face.
The last shot was a high angle shot at 0.25.

Once we had finished we watched everyone's back in class, Mr Buckmaster gave helpful feedback such as:
-Through out our shots we need to remember to keep the camera still (unless panning, tracking, crabbing etc.)
-We also need to position our camera exactly how we want to before we start filming and do a count down from five before filming
-We need to think a about lighting, if lighting behind the character is too strong then you wont be able to see their face
- The last tip he gave us was to think about head space before we start filming
