Unfortunately until we finally reviewed the footage formally, we realised that our footage didn't do a few things:

* The footage was not smooth on the fig rig, and often would jog uncontrollably 
* I was doing too much at once: i wasn't focusing on doing base tracks at different angles, instead I was filming close ups, long shots, feet work, hand movements, and transition shots, all at the same time.]]> 2017-11-16 22:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207925143 ab93373 https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207927455 After realising this, I decided to watch videos online of how videographers shoot music videos and I had learnt a lot that I want to transfer into the production of our music videos.]]> 2017-11-16 22:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207927455 ab93373 https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207928087 This Youtube video showed me how a freelancer filmed music videos for artists on his own. I learnt a trick he used to keep consistent, stable, camera movements:

It showed me that it could be shot without it being part of a base track. Using this will help me to not tend to try and 'film everything at once'.]]> 2017-11-16 22:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207931031 ab93373 https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207931748 Watching these videos (and more), showed me how to film base tracks without the need to try and film everything at once. They have taught me that it is better to film at each angle at a time, and be as steady as possible. I have also found it essential that we review each of our footage after we had shot it, to avoid disappointment when we formally review them. 
To do for nest shooting:
*Try and use some of the teqchniches I saw on videos
*Make a more focused shotlist of shots we liked in our first footage, but needed improvements on, including shots we did not get round to filming]]> 2017-11-16 22:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207931748 ab93373 https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207937730 The cinematographer would find a triangular point, and 'swing' from A to B to C, and vice versa. ]]> 2017-11-16 23:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ab93373/5j7m8gn0n4q8/wish/207937730
