Filming Session 2

In our second session of filming, after shooting practice footage of one of our hardest shots we have on our storyboard, we decided to film the shot again, applying the improvements I stated in an earlier blogpost. We set up the tripod so we can use it to keep the camera movement steady and consistent. The shot was difficult to shoot in our practice shot because Lily was not stationary in the shot, she was walking at a pace which made the camera footage look shaky and disorientated. We did not want the shot to be perfectly still because that would look unrealistic but having shaky footage also makes it look unprofessional and unrealistic. The tripod was simple to set up and it helped me keep the camera steady and accurate. We also asked Lily if she could walk at a slower pace to simplify filming the shot. Luckily, challenging the practice shot was successful today, we just hope that it will flow nicely with our other footage that we filmed the other day. If it does not flow well with the other footage, we will have to re-evaluate methods that we could use to improve and fix this shot.
