Journal 12/1/12

We used today's lesson to film shots 3,5,7,9,11 and 12 which we needed the church for. We were at the church for approximately one hour and used the dolly and tripod, though we realised it would be a challenge to use all of them because the floor had uneven stones on it. We watched the film back on the camera and were confident with what we had, however, when we came back to school and watched it on the big screen it was far too shaky and the quality of the video was overall not as good as it could have been and had previously looked. Mr Grimsley suggested different ways to move the dolly for a steadier shot and gave us advice on how to maybe change the shot completely to make it better. We took the advice and went straight back to the church, once we had re-shot and uploaded we were much happier with the outcome and felt we had really progressed in this lesson with camera work. We also re-shot some of the outside shots using the tripod to again make it steadier.
