Experimental Filming

This lesson we took a camera and tripod out around college to test out some of the shots we were planning on using for our music video. This gave us the idea of whether our ideas of how we wanted the video to look could actually be achieved with the technology we had available. The shots we tested were:

• 180 degrees pan (from two different locations, joined to make a 360 degree pan)
• 360 degrees pan (from a low angle and a mid shot)
• Jump shot

The filming went well and we got a good feel as to what shots would create the best effects for our video. All of our camera angle ideas were achievable with the technology which meant we were able to start story boarding our final ideas.
