Production: Saturday Filming

     Hello! On saturday I got the opportunity to start filming for my film opening at practice. Thanks to my teacher letting me borrow the Canon T7, the filming process went smooth. I started filming at lunch because we had a busy day at practice and I didn't want to interrupt or disturb my team. We only had 50 minutes so I had to work fast. However, this wasn't a problem because I was prepared with my storyboard and draft of my script. 

    If I could go back and change some things I did for my first time filming I would for sure invest in camera holder. Looking back at my clips I feel like theres a lot of random movement that should be cut out. Although partially my fault, it is also my first time filming these shots and having a steady hand was hard for me. I believe if I invested in the equipment below, my shots would have turned out a lot better. I especially struggled with the tracking shots.

After looking at an example of the shot on YouTube I noticed that these filmtographers also include a bit of random movement when needed. Viewing this made me feel better about how I executed that tracking shot. But, theres always room for improvement and more attempts. In fact, depending on how my Premiere pro editing goes I will decide if I should bring my camera to practice and refilm some of the clips.
