Filming Preliminary

In todays lesson i also learnt how to use the HD video camera and tripod. It sounds simple and i thought it would be but i found that there are alot of things to take in to consideration when filming a shot or shot sequence.
For example when to p...ause the camera to change positions. I was filming our "Actor" and i didnt take in to consideration that you can edit off areas of a shot on the computer after filming so i p...aused the film just slightly too early in one shot ( as he sat down)
Also i am now not so worried about filming our opening sequence as i am aware of all the cuts and editing that can be done and all the changes that can be made.
Another thing i am happy about is using the tripod as it makes filming a whole lot easier. The camera is really steady and it means i can focus more on what is going on rather than worrying about how steady my hand is.

After doing this i am more confident in getting started on the the opening sequence of our Thriller Film.
