Shooting and Editing

Hi everyone, just finished filming and editing my experimentation of movement video! I shot footage on four different locations: a country side walk, a field, a river and my school grounds. With these four locations I was able to get a variety of shots and footage to choose from. The film doesn't have a sequence as it was an experimentation film, but we will be shooting a scripted film next week!
 
Here are some stills from the video:



 
 
When filming there was certain safety procedures that I needed to carry out...
  1. Firstly I shot a sequence of track shots in which I had to move with the camera. To ensure I did this safely, I cleared the walk ways so there was nothing that I could trip up on. When shooting next to the river, I made sure I was a clear distance from the water, in case the camera got damaged.
  2. When shooting the whip shot through 180degrees I ensured the camera was attached firmly onto the tripod, and the tripods legs where stable. This made it safer when shooting as the camera/tripod could not fall onto anyone and hurt them or break the camera.
  3. To ensure the weather did not damage the camera or effect footage, we covered it in a waterproof sheet when transporting it. This made the camera more secure and unlikely to get damaged from the rain. We also selected locations carefully and away from any slippy surfaces caused by weather. This helped us to move more fluently and not slip over and hurt ourselves.
  4. When travelling to different locations we packed up the equipment into its packaging to keep it safe. This prevented anyone falling over it and made transportation much easier.
 
This is my third every movie shooting experience and I feel I have improved with each attempt. There were complications in my last videos such as minimal camera shots and understanding of camera/editing effects. However in this third video I have attempted to solve these. I am much more familiar with the editing software, I used a variety of locations in order to get the best footage, I have used a range of camera shots and movement and I have planned before shooting. All of these things have favoured my third video and I feel my skills in editing have improved to create my best video yet.
 
I am really enjoying learning new skills in video shooting and editing, and I am really looking forward to creating more videos in the future! Thanks, millie :)
