Yesterday..

Yesterday we spent the day working with someone from the bbc, who came in and showed us interview techniques and the correct ways to use a video camera.
Personally, the most important thing I learned yesterday was how to do a sequence, which is a series of shots using a video camera.

1.Close up of activity
2.Close up of face
3.Wide shot, including surroundings
4.Over the shoulder shot, puts viewer into perspective
5.Creative shot

We also learned that when filming interviews it is important to have all three eyes on the same level, the interviewer, the interviwee and the camera.

I will be taking this into consideration when filming our documentry.
