Practice Shooting

I have done some practice filming, the reason that i have done this is so that i my camera use is refreshed i preparation for the actual filming for my advert. In this shot clip i have practised several different angles that i could use or are commonly used in all types of film work. For example some of the few shots i have used are, close ups, extreme long shots and mid shots, in additional to this i have a high angle and low angle. I found that this filming was a lot harder to make sure that the camera was still and i made sure the object i was filming was centre or marginalsed depending of the criteria.

I not only played around with the camera work but also familiarised my self with the editing software, as i have been using it to cut the shots, but also using different transitions to explore some settings on Premier. I have used a vide variety of transitions on my clip, however i do not feel that they all make the clip flow or have rhythm. Furthermore i added a non diegetic sound track to the clip, this is something that will be found on my advert therefore i wanted to practise the skill of using editing to the rhythm of the music, i found this a massive challenge and was unable todo so on this piece of work, but i am going to have another go at it whilst doing my planning and practise shots. Finally i added some text so that the audience is able to see the shot i have been experimenting with but also to practise the text placement in comparison with the page.

Overall i found this experiment was very useful and it has made me realise that many of my skills that i picked up last year i no longer am able to use to the standard that i was able to last year. There fore i am going to have to some more testing pieces like this one before i go and do my final clip to ensure that i am going to create a advert to the best skill and standard possible.
