What I have learnt:
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 which our actor pointed out, enabling us to manually set the focus on a particular object which helped us a lot for this shot. We hope that this will improve the shot which will include in the videos as we only need a shortcut of this particular action. It was slightly wet when filming so it was even more vital for the lens to remain covered and clear while keeping the camera itself dry as it is non-waterproof. In the practise shots, we learnt that we needed to constantly check this as it would ruin plenty of the shots and cause us to refilm. Thankfully, this never occurred apart from one shot which has made sorting the footage much simpler as they are all of a high quality.
This image clearly demonstrates our focus issue expressed in the learning comment...
