Camera excise

Throughout the filming of this short video I feel that considering that this was our first time filming as a group, we did ok. In the short video we used a range of camera shots and movements, such as. Long shot, wide shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, rolling shot, tracking shot, crane shot, point of view,over the shoulder, pan, tilt, high angle and low angle. However when using this shots I feel that not all of them were shot to the best standard they could have been shot at, such as the rolling shot. When we did the rolling shot the tripod jolted as we tilted the camera to the side. This applies to some of the other shots we did, ones where the tripod has to be moved during the shot being taken, such as the tracking shot, pan and tilt. However I feel like that there were aspects of the filming that were of a good standard, for example. The high and low angle shots this is because I feel that they flowed in with the short video. Improvements that can be made for the next time we film would be to be more careful with the tripod so that less jolts are made.
