"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." Stanley Kubrick

Practice Shooting

Last night, I went out to practice shooting some footage for our music video. What we found while shooting was that is was hugely time consuming, because some of the shots we had to do over and over again. I was aware that this would take a long time, however, so it wasn't as much of a shock as it could have been.
Another thing we found was our lack of equipment. I used my Canon 1200D, and a tripod, but the tripod wasn't very steady. When we tried doing tilts and pans, it didn't move, so we had to do it all by hand which made the shots very shaky.
Finally, because of the lack of lighting, the night-shots were very grainy.


WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT
What we aim to do now is try and get hold of a better tripod so we are able to do tilting and panning shots which are smooth. Also, we will have to shoot when it is still light so the shots aren't grainy.
