Camera Angles

Many camera angles and shots were hard to shoot as the camera wouldn't hold still, and would tremor however this was useful and affective for shots such as a 'Point of View' shot as it made the shot more realistic because the movement of the character wouldn't be still. After a while of experimenting with the cameras and other shots we realised that we would get a better shot with a tracking dolly or a tripod. The cameras we were using are compatible with both therefore we tried each for different types of shots.

Some successful shots were an 'extreme long shot' because the tripod enabled us to get a steady angle on the scenery and swivel around to capture the landscape, another angle was a 'over the shoulder' shot as using a tracking dolly allowed us to get a clear shot of the characters without moving towards the back of the other characters head. I enjoyed experimenting with different shots and techniques and it helped me build an understanding around which equipment to use for certain shots and how to use the camera.
