FMP- Camera Write up

Camera Write up

I borrowed a camera and tripod from the college to record my video. 

The camera I used was a Nikon D3300. Since I was recording inside, the aperture was set to near enough as wide as it could go and the ISO was increased to around 400. This also helped with the exposure of the shot.

The shutter speed was kept at 1/50 as it was shot at 1080p, 25fps.

I then put the camera onto the tripod and focused the shot to make sure that the recording would be nice and clear and not blurry.

After recording, I then put the footage into premiere pro and cut down any parts that were not needed or parts that were too long. 

What went well

I followed my story board and shot list and was able to record with no issues. The story board was really helpful when recording because it was basically all planned out for me and all I had to do was just follow the story board and its description. This made the recording process quick and a lot easier.

My footage was focused well and the aperture was adjusted to the right amount making the footage not too bright or not too dark.

I used camera techniques e.g. a pan was used in a way to reveal the character.

What I could improve

In some parts of the footage, it is quite dark due to poor lighting. I should have used an extra source of light since some of the things that were recorded were dark coloured so it didn't really show up on camera. 

I also could have use other camera angles instead of them all just being straight angle.
