What we did today.. Thursday 6th October

Today, we did some test filming, we did this because we wanted to get to grips with how much we can shoot in a certain period of time and also so that the performers/band can get to grips with acting in front of the camera.  The beginning of the lesson started out slow because unfortunately we seemed to pick up a dodgey camera, we then returned this and managed to get another one.  Once we had set up the camera, we did some test shooting of the group, Jack, Sam and Sam. We got a variety of shots; close-ups, pans, zooming in and out, high angle shots and wide shots.  We think that doing a test shoot worked very well for us because we got to grips with the camera and how much we can shoot in our hour and a half lesson.  We also got the boys in our group used to acting in front of the camera.  Once we had finished this we then took back our camera and uploaded everything we had done today.. it could come in handy?
